Ahead of Saturday’s Presidential election, stern-looking and combat-ready soldiers were Monday, spotted along the Boundary Market-Marine Beach Road, in Ajegunle, Lagos controlling traffic in the area.

Residents who spoke to Vanguard said the soldiers had been deployed to the area since Saturday, even as they had a show-of-force physical exercise that day.

According to them, since the soldiers arrived the area, they have taken over control of traffic.
This development Vanguard gathered has restored normalcy in the area, as against the usual chaotic traffic jam caused by the indiscriminate parking by yellow bus (danfo) drivers and ‎motorcyclists (okada riders) in the axis.

A resident, Wale Oke said: “Since Saturday, that these soldiers have been here, the chaotic traffic build-up we have especially along this Boundary Market Roundabout has been cleared-off.

“This no-nonsense soldiers have cleared-off all the danfo bus drivers and the okada riders who park indiscriminately along this road to pick and drop passengers. This is a nice development,” he said.

At least they've decimated boko haram and can't wait to use it on their sympathisers.

Wise move by d president

Ghen ghen! Please fellow Lagosians, stay safe. Cast your ballot and go home and sleep. Evil is not your portion.

The presence of soldiers doesn't guarantee that there won't be rigging in the election. Osun State and Ekiti state are living examples.

Well, lifes and properties will be secured to an extent.

Bloody liar,where is the pisure

This Election will be very interesting!!!

Interesting time in Naija. Hmmmmmnn...na wah o! This election is really shaping up to be an interesting contest but really, what else should we expect? NL.. is blocking so much info these days from people! Check my signature for the truth, take action!.

If they harass you and you don't petition the United Nations, I will give you a resounding knock on your coconut head.

Why are soldiers taking over traffic? What are the cops and traffic wardens there for? What happened to LASTMA? What's with deploying soldiers particularly to Lagos?

What exactly are the duties of our soldiers?

This is good at least to maintain peace. God bless Nigeria

Controlling traffic? Na wa o!

some people are now so daft that all they write to every topic is GEJ till 2019 or sai GMB

Saturday is almost here....make we hear word abeg

GEJ all the way

Soldiers or no soldiers Sai Buhari

OK o. They shouldn't focus only on traffic, they should also focus on PDP and their violent supporters...
