It was a comic relief, yesterday, as a lunatic stopped officials of Rivers State Road Traffic Management Authority, TIMA-RIV, from impounding a vehicle at a bus-stop in Mile 1 Market, Port Harcourt.
The car was parked along Ikwerre Road and kept in madman watch. Popularly called No Shaking or Barracks No Easy, he chased away the officials.
The officials said the car was wrongly packed, arguing that the bus stop was meant for commercial vehicles alone.
Asked why he was preventing the traffic officials from getting close to the car, Barracks No Easy said in pidgin English: “I no go gree. Na by motor. You will not carry it. Barracks No Easy. You cannot enter it. You are mad for coming to carry my motor.”
He insisted that he would not allow the officers impound the car placed in his care and complained that TIMA-RIV had always made people to spend unnecessarily.
The owner of the car, who was watching the whole drama from a distance, rewarded the lunatic with N1,200 for his courage.
