Three persons were killed and five others injured on Monday night after some drunk soldiers went berserk at a Lagos-Ogun border community.

This is coming barely a week after soldiers opened fire on policemen on covert operation to Ibi in Taraba State killing six persons including three civilians.

The soldiers, suspected to be on illegal duty, were said to have opened fire on celebrators of the Isheri Day festival in Kara Community after they were told to stop harassing innocent people.

It was gathered that the soldiers had escorted one Tiri, said to be a son of Kara Market owner to the event’s venue and were violently pushing other guests to create access for their principal before they were confronted by one of the community leaders.

“I told them that what they were doing was not proper. I told them to stop harassing other participants in the festival. The soldiers were two and they work as bodyguards to Tiri.

“The next thing, one of them pointed his gun at me and people gathered there.

“Tiri was also drunk because the three of them came in drunk. After the disagreement, they left and about 300 metres away, we heard gunshots. They just opened fire on people.

"Adelani Dare, who was urinating, was killed on the spot. Tayese sustained gunshot wounds and was rushed to the hospital.

“The shooting angered the people and the soldier was attacked and wounded. He was also taken to the same hospital as Tayese.

The next thing, they called for reinforcement and when their colleagues came to take the injured soldier, they saw Tayese and shot him dead right in front of the doctor.

“I think the hospital has CCTV and the police can get the footage to see what happened there. The soldiers killed three people and injured five persons.

“This whole thing started around 7:30pm on Monday. This is the first time we are experiencing this kind of sad incident during our festival. We have been celebrating this day for 31 years and have never recorded any death.

“We want the police to arrest Tiri. Once Tiri is arrested, it will be easy to fish out the soldiers who committed this crime because they are his bodyguards and he knows where they are from,” said a resident Saheed Adeshina.

Contacted, police spokesman for Ogun State Abimbola Oyeyemi, a Deputy Superintendent (DSP) confirmed the incident but said he would revert for details.

Lagos is the land of all crimes(including the ones committed by the law-enforcers)so I'm not surprised this is also coming from Lagos state.

If you are a Nigerian and still able to differentiate between the terrorists i.e herdsmen, kidnappers, bandits, boko haram from the Nigerian soldier, that means you are a genius. As long as i am concerned, there are no differences between the army and the terrorists.

Useless cowards,dat is why I have no pity on all u walking dead in uniform whenever u are bn slaughtered. U imbe¢iles only get stronger wen u see unarmed civilians...

It is well.


While the military men of sane countries are known for protecting their country, ours takes pride in comedians using their slapping/beating of civilian as comedy punclines, getting drunk and abusing their power.

May God help this country.

Gone are the days when people join the military to defend their nation, to protect their families.

Things have changed however, people now join military because of joblessness and then to oppress people.

Instead of joining military to oppress , why not get bammed into one cult

R.i.p

9ja wetin dey happen

..

Now we are no longer faced with corruption

The problem in Nigeria now is times 3 to 2014

No headway

It's getting worse and worse everyday

When the wicked Rules

Empty vessels. Nigerians blaming their soldiers have forgotten that soldiers are a reflection of themselves if power was given to them.

The entire country is awaiting the next major disaster whether natural or man made. Anything more than 1% being spared is clear evidence of Gods' unrivalled mercy and compassion.

Deep down most Nigerians know they deserve to have their brains spontaneously blown out or have their entire family wipped out by a single accident. Most Nigerians know that their heart is heavy with sins they commit relentlessly in pursuit of money, fame and hedonism.

Those entering churches are among the worst of Nigerians in this plight, despite not having an iota of faith, they are ready to defend the wrongdoing of church ministers and punish the victims. They will gladly walk past hundreds of beggars and young people and hand over their money to a known paedophille, rapist, usurper, profligate priest with a jombo jet and a mansion in manhattan and then say my god is rich... My god this and that while standing on an alter of gold.

When such idiots die, does the gold follow them? Then truly what was the purpose of amassing it, when such riches belonged to God even while in the earth? Where were those calling for the smelting of the gold and distribution to the masses?

You see now that like those killed and those doing the killing, they are all empty barrels? Your death will surely point to your life.

Not again

What kind of country is this?



...meanwhile the President... Aisha hurry up with the pepper soup and cold fura de nunu

All our securities system are very flawed...what a country

According to a nairalander here
Surviving in Nigeria is a skill itself

Declare state of emergency in the Nigerian Military

They say "soldiers are trained to kill"

If truly these soldiers shot the guy at d hospital then I can say we are totally finished... jeez!! I’m trying to fathom that scene.
We are in a Zoo!!!

This month self. Why all these killing? Police will kill civilian, soldiers kill Police then civilian will be looking like lucozade boast.

RUBBISH

I wonder the kinda people they engage to secure Nigerian people.

A policeman gets angry when he hears you speak English...you want to show him that you are educated as though it was a crime to be.

A soldier will be looking for a way to display his brutality on unarmed bloody civilian.

Now, we have firearms in the hands of people who get drunk and open fire on ordinary citizens.

I have yet to see any supperior argument that supports the claim that Nigeria will ever be good!

Fact....

The greatest threat to a common Nigerian isn't
Poverty... We have bet9ja and lotto
Hunger... ewa goyin and garri dey
Malaria..... We have immunity
Sickness... We have tb Joshua
Go slow.... We have leggedis Benz
Booko haaram,,.... We have idp
Bohari...... He will be out in 4 years
Our greatest threat are those we pay to protect us, they now turn around to kill us, make women and children widows and orphans, they are everywhere, they kill us without remorse because they are trained to kill.
Nigerians should be placed in animals that will soon go extinct
No value for life

dis people wan replace sars o. oya #endnigeriaarmy lol

Pity
