If you're familiar with Benin you'd know these places.
As at then buses no longer stop at kings square ring road anymore. You'd stop at Obakavwaye opposite Ecobank and trek to ring road.
We entered the bus and told the conductor that we'll drop at Obakavwaye junction.....

cell? No oh. The lawyer now went outside the gate to meet my friend that she should bring money to bail me.







She now gave the money to the lawyer. The lawyer asked the conductor, "how much you get so we can bail the both of you with the money" the guy said he doesn't have any money with him that the driver took all the money from him before he left. It was already passed 5pm.
The lawyer and his friend now contributed money and added it to what my friend brought to pay for bail for the both of us.
We let the conductor go and we still made it to work by 6:40pm.
At the end we arrested the conductor and bailed him with our own money,lost gold earring worth 16k (one earring oh) and I collected free injury that my friend spent money to treat.
Violence is bad!
The end.
