LASTMA, on its X handle thanked the man for bringing the matter to its notice, promising that the issue will be taken to the management for the right steps to be taken.

The X user, whose handle is @Prinzeindy, disclosed in his post that some drivers of what he described as 'Danfo Buses' are fond of endangering the lives of passengers by reversing from Iddo to Idumota Bridge, a long distance.

He however did not disclose the reason for the decision of the commercial bus drivers to reverse their vehicles.

In fact, he displayed the video of one of the buses whose driver reversed from Iddo to the bridge at an excessive speed without bothering about the passengers inside the vehicle.
