Recall that few days ago, a squabble over N50 in Yenagoa, the Bayelsa State capital led to the death of more than two people.
The row, according to reports began when a passenger paid a tricycle operator, better known as “Keke Napep” N100 while the tricyclist demanded N150 fee.
This led to the operator stabbing the passenger which resulted in his death.
