According to eye witnesses, Abasirim's bus had gotten to the bus stop when they were accosted by the LASTMA officials who demanded for the usual 'roger' from the driver who referred them to his conductor but the man told the traffic officials that they had just come out for the day and as such, they had not made any money............
That explanation angered the LASTMA men who allegedly beat up the poor Abasirim and then pushed him from the moving vehicle and he was crushed by another vehicle coming from behind and he died on the spot.
The reports also say that the conductor's death triggered serious mob action and the area boys in the area took the laws into their hands, vandalising any vehicle in their sight and in the process causing traffic gridlock on the ever busy road.
The offending LASTMA officials had by now made good their escape but the people who witnessed what happened mobilized and joined forces with hoodlums to take the victim’s corpse to a LASTMA office nearby.
