Soldiers Didn't Burn BRT Buses In Lagos - Nigerian Army by minimoha: 11:12pm On Jul 04, 2014
Over 5 BRT buses were set on fire by alleged Nigerian
soldiers along Ikorodu Road in Lagos as one of the buses hit
and killed another soldier this morning, July 4.

According to witnesses, an unidentified soldier was riding a bicycle to
work when the BRT bus knocked him down at the Palmgrove bus
stop.

However, Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Army, Gen. Olajide
Olaleye, stated that it wasn’t Nigerian soldiers who carried out the
rampage.

"It’s not true that soldier destroyed buses or set any bus on fire," he
said. "What happened was that a BRT bus knocked down a soldier and
killed him. As usual in Lagos so area boys gathered and a few soldiers
stopped at the scene as well. The GOC has dispatched military
policemen to the scene to help restore law and order."

According to previous reports, soldiers at the Abalti Barrack were
alerted immediately after the accident. Thus, the road at Palmgrove
was blocked by the soldiers as they began to vandalise every BRT in
sight, causing a massive traffic.

It was gathered that when the soldiers didn’t the driver, they seized
one of the Estate’s security men. The man was
beaten mercilessly and taken away.

The journalists, who attempted to take photos, were severely beaten
by the soldiers, who belonged to an outfit called “OP MESA”. The
newsmen had to be rushed to a hospital. Some other pedestrians, who
were making calls with their phones or even just holding the phone in
sight, were slapped and kicked. Their phones were either seized or
damaged.

According to sources, at least 80 soldiers were on the road between
Onipanu and Palmgrove. Pedestrians were required to raise their two
hands as they passed to avoid being beaten by the soldiers.

The same Soldiers that said the Chibok girls are free??.. I don't believe their trash and I hope the masterminds of the act will be dealt with so as so avoid the kind of traffic gridlock on most Lagos roads yesterday. It was indeed terrible using the Yaba road yesterday after d incident.

Immorality, irresposibility, immunity and impunity at the peak on display by the soldiers!
Reminds me of the 'Unknown Soldiers' saga of the 70s that invaded, attacked, vandalised, brutalised and carried out murders at Fela's shrine.

The hatred for fashola by soldiers was due to the governor insulting one of their officer somtimes ago. Fashola should go and apologise to them first.
