The passenger was left stranded because the bus conductor insisted that he would not collect the money as he wasn’t sure it is real or fake.
She claimed not to have any other money on her apart from the new N1,000 and this caused some delay as she could not drop and they could not move forward either.
A video making the rounds online shows passengers confused as the two of them continued to exchange words over the money’s authenticity.
Someone asked the conductor if he is not aware that there are new naira notes in circulation, in responded that he does not know the one the woman wanted to pay him with.
The person then gave him the old 1k note and the conductor said he recognises it even if his eyes were closed.
