Photos: 18 Chisco Luxury transport buses burnt down in Lagos

Pictures show Chisco Luxury buses
allegedly burnt down by political thugs in
Lagos on February 12th. Didn't even know
this happened until president Jonathan said
it in a recent interview;
"I was surprised last night when the owner
of Chisco, the company that runs transport
business between Lagos and the South East
told me that 18 of his luxury buses were
burnt down in Lagos by youths of a rival
party because my billboard was close to his
facility. Is that the kind of people that want
to take over the running of this country? Is
this country going to be managed by people
with that kind of background" he said
The fire was said to have started after some
hoodlums took advantage of a political
campaign rally to throw substances
suspected to be explosives into the
premises of the transport company in
apparent protest against President Goodluck
Jonathan’s poster on a building beside
Chisco’s head office.
A witness who identified himself as Stanley
told Sun News last week
"It was when the All Progressives Congress
(APC) campaign train was passing during
their political rally along Eko Bridge that
some hoodlums supporting the party, took
advantage of the rally to throw objects into
the premises of the company when they saw
President Jonathan’s billboard hung on the
uncompleted building beside Chisco Head
Office, thinking the premises belongs to the
Federal Government.”
The building belongs to the Industrial
Training Fund (ITF), a Federal Government
parastatal sharing a common fence with the
leading transport company.
