A bus conductor was on Tuesday morning, burnt to death at the Five Star Bus Stop near Aswani Market, Isolo, after he stabbed one of his passenger to death during an argument over N100 balance.
According to eyewitnesses, the bus was heading to Aswani market area. The passenger opted to alight at the junction before the market and demanded his N100 change.
