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 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.

  1. This is campaign strategy and means of blackmailing opposition party, why is it Jonathan that publicized it, what stops chisco from reporting the issue to police and media? is media and police own by APC? is Jonathan a police or information officer of chisco. something is wrong somewhere .God help Nigeria.

  2. I love what they did to Chisco bus, if i am there i will do more than this, but i don’t think A P C people did that, This is campaign strategy and means of blackmailing opposition party, GEJ & Chisco are big fools,

  3. We should all wear out logical thinking caps! The political terrain now has made almost everybody to have interest in one or two candidates. Example; it was when a political party claimed that another candidate will islamise d nation that made most of us inquire and be informed that this accused candidate’s driver of more than 10 years, cook and guard are Christians. With this Chisco stuff, how come nobody heard about this till now? Is it a bill board on the building beside the office that burnt 18 buses? Is the building the bill board was on got burnt too? How come 2 buses were on fire and they couldn’t drive others out? How come police in lagos didn’t mention it but GEJ did while in lagos? How old were the buses? Could it be they are due for replacement and got burnt for insurance to buy new one? I know many questions will reveal the truth. May God help us.
