Some minutes past the hour of 7 am on the 20th of September, two Shuttle drivers engaged the Welfare director in a hot argument which led to harassment.
Before the agreement with CATREC to charge 150 for Road 7 users, some drivers chose to defile the deal, charging Road 7 users and OAU international students as high as 200 and 300.
Timileyin Samuel, popularly known as S&T intervened in the matter, which led to an assault outside Moremi High School. An attempt to stop the bus driver from overcharging the users led the driver to almost run over the Welfare director with his cab.
The welfare director called the CATREC Chairman to report the matter to him and warn the drivers that have taken to extorting students.
In cases of aggressive behaviour from violators, students should avoid confrontation and instead record the Cartrec number or vehicle’s number plate and promptly report the incident to the Union.
