Suspicious Passengers Force Fulani Man Off Inter-State Bus
A Fulani man was forced off a bus at a Lagos motor park, where he was allegedly denied a seat after fellow passengers said they could not travel in the same vehicle with him.
As depicted in a viral video on social media after, the transport company ultimately issued a refund, citing the refusal of the other commuters to share the bus with him.
The man, who identified himself as a traveler heading from Lagos to Calabar, shared the clip after being turned away from two different transport companies.
In the video, he explains that after successfully paying his fare in the early hours of the morning, he was informed that his journey could not proceed.
“Just because I am Fulani, the passengers said they are not going to travel with a ‘Fulani Herdsman’. They made the company refund my money,” he said, visibly distressed. “We Fulani are in trouble in this world.”
The traveler detailed his attempts to find passage, noting he first visited the GUO Transport park, where he was told they were not heading to Calabar.
He then proceeded to GIGM (God is Good Motors), where he secured a ticket.
However, the situation escalated when other passengers reportedly staged a protest, citing security concerns and ethnic profiling related to the ongoing national tensions regarding “herdsmen.”
