Funflipper:


Are you implying that a military man can drive 120mph on a 70mph road and won't be arrested by the police?

I never say so, I only told you the only condition they could be arrested. If he is on duty with military uniform, they won't but rather signal his station. But off duty, they will arrest, and notify his base, immediately. Just like this arrest by Sanwo Olu, the police/DSS or the governor can't keep him with them, they will notify his base. Had it been he is on uniform, they there not touch him, the governor would rather question him, get his service number and report him to his superior.

Chicagograduate:
Government convoys are the worst in breaking traffic laws.

In the name of securing the VIPs and guess who do this for them?

Maxtipulation:
As a soldier you are saying the right thing only if the soldier who committed the offense is on uniform or has with him an ID proving his a soldier that's where he can stand his ground.

Having ID is irrelevant
According to your logic a soldier with Id can go and remove an ATM MACHINE ,take it to his house and the police will bring out their phones to film him. He is untouchable?

The only time a soldier cannot be arrested by civilian authorities is when he is officially deployed on active duty.
If he goes amok in civilian space even civilians can arrest him

Funflipper:


Does that put them above the law? Any soldier with such warped thoughts ought to be dismissed for lack of common sense.

You can’t see such act from both the military and governor abroad, both were wrong. 2 wrongs don’t make right. Chasing on one way to catch someone is wrong doing, uk police will never use one way to chase, highest they use serene to clear road. Until we behave like humans, las las na zoo Una Dey. President Wey Dey say snatch it, take it, grab it, run away with it win election. Una Dey expect decorum from citizens?

Naaaaaaaaaa

Is this young man talking carelessly and brusquely in the video just a cadet or a soldier?
What ever he is, he should get ready to get detained in the guard room and face suspension or outsight dismissal from the Army. Such characters are NOT acceptable in the military. Military personel must obey laws and subordinate themselves in any civilian government dispensation.

The days of military rule and the attendant mass indiscipline and corruption we witnessed from a lot of them back in the 1970s to 1999 are over. Period.

The same constitution that empowers the soldiers to function in their capacity also empowers the Governor of a State to function in his capacity.. Apparently, the lance corporal arrested is a wounded soldier which is the reason for the colleague's outburst.

The part where the soldier said Lagos too dey enjoy peace cracked me up.. Truly, North Eastern Governors don't have the luxury of going about in their States without heavy security.

Hurbashola:
They all need to be oriented

Dey play

Two things..it is either the guy is not a soldier but a vessel used by soldiers just to speak on the matter. Or the guy is a very dull soldier who will eventually be identified and properly dealt with.

mamaafrik:
I am seeing many ignoramus in uniform ,the Governor won't have done what he did if the arrested guy was in uniform.
Ambulance and other official exigencies are permitted on the route not a guy in 3/4 .


Check iyanapaja _oshodi BRT route they unofficially ply the road with half military gears carrying passengers breaking the law they ought to keep.

If this guy post hit twitter ,his job may be threatened.

Fashola famously arrested an army colonel using the BRT lane during his tenure, so being in uniform won't change anything. (A Colonel is just a rank below a Brigadier General.) It's also false that ambulances and other vehicles on emergency assignments are allowed to pass one way. They are not.

It's wrong for the Governor to Demean the soldier all just for Traffic offence

greetings to you all, as much as i feel that the army said some things that are wrong i also feel some things are right. If Governor pass one way, he dey wrong. Two wrongs no dey make one right

Ignorance is truly bliss

Concman:

See the Buffons they put in the army? He say one way is legal driving cos it makes his commute shorter. These guys need to be educated besides endurance training.

aribisalaaltm0:
Ibo man hating as usual

nothing about igbo here. The governor has an exalted position and should show that he is not just an ordinary citizen. I feel very uncomfortable considering how the governor is talking on top of his voice

Lastmessenger2:
I'm seriously disappointed in the governor for acting like a thug. Just imagine how he was shouting and exchanging words with the soldier. He belittled himself by engaging in a banter with that soldier.

sharrap there, the governor did no wrong

Make major general t a lagbaja catch am he go die for solitary

That's how to be a soldier in Nigeria.

Gajagojo:

What is the source of this claim?
Can you cite a law to that effect?

Sections 1 (1), 1 (3), of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999; Armed Forces Act

GUNITGuy:

Traffic offence is not a minor offence especially driving against traffic

It can cost lives

Sirianese:


Sections 1 (1), 1 (3), of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999; Armed Forces Act

Please cite it?cite
A citation is required

That is not what those sections of the constitution say
The claim is wrong

federal9:

.

Soldier man na federal work oooo, 24/7

States don arrest federal government property.

The federal government should be the one to handle the soldier man and not the state.

I’m particularly interested in @bolded
Please, from which part of the constitution did you get that statement from sir?
You mean an Indiana or Montana state police can’t arrest an erring federal worker or that the mayor of a state can’t arrest you for flouting the law of the land just because you are employed by the president? This nairaland ehn, Una go just come online and start to dey cap rubbish
There’s nothing wrong with what the governor did and if Nigeria were to be a working and sane society, the mumu soldier would rather maintain low profile and would not even dare to bring the military into the mess because that alone is enough to get him relieved.

ehikwe22:
No wonder they are always misbehaving. Depots and military trainings camp are not for training but for brainwashing of young minds - same way campus cults do. Imagine what is coming out from the mouth of a soldier. A governor can sack a soldier as long as his identity is known, he just need to take up his phone to place a call and that's the end. I have seen a commissioner of police sack a soldier working in the JTF because they disrespected him, he took all their information, forwarded it to the appropriate authorities and they were locked up for a long time then sacked.

Well said @ehikwe22,
I'm on the same page with what you posted here.

Below is a viral video from January 2020 of some highly indisciplined young army cadets who blocked the expressway and caused a traffic gridlock. The Nigerian cadets parked their cars on the road, dancing in the traffic jam on the expressway because according to them, “civilians can’t do anything.”

One of the silly cadets was busy bullying and insulting from a distance a driver who horned by referring to him as a bloody civilian and a bastard.

The army recruitment is just like a campus gang or neighborhood gang "brainwashing of the mind" movement that emphasizes gross indiscipline towards the wider society simply because of the guns they wield. After witnessing military governments in Nigeria from the 1970s to 1999, I've always cautioned these young ones calling for military coups because of the loss of freedom of speech by members of the society and the spikes in corruption and indiscipline in the military governments.

Febcom:
Werey online lowa, just go to Alasua in Lagos and speak all this rubbish, m@d and very rude boy, a chief security officer of 3 largest state in The world.
All the small boys lack wisdom and good educational training, as the Governor he is in total control, of the state Armed Forces, Naval, Air force and Police ...

Ogun fire 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 that your useless mouth.

lol..u are ignorant....do you know who a General is that might reside in a state......they both messed up

The Soldier is saying what he said because we are in a lawless Country where the people that are supposed to show good example are the one constituting nuisance and breaking the rules/laws, start seeing themselves as been above the law. US military were well respected not because they force it but they earn through the act of discipline they display.

Soldiers in uniform can be arrested by the police in the US, stop talking about what you don't know.

But wait-o... Gov Sanwo-Olu actually called the soldier "useless boy".

Gov Sanwo-Olu needs to apologize to Nigerian army & the boy, too.

Two wrongs...

Besides, that chaos, panic, the guv created cld hv caused accidents...

Abi na today you people understood that northern Nigerians, especially those from the NW region, see soldiers as being above all constituted authorities in Nigeria? They see all Nigeria as their conquered territory.
Una go form political alliance with a section of Nigeria that does not believe in democracy but believes only in military conquests. Why protest now?

Righthussle:
This idiot thinks being a soldier means you're above the law.

You get mind dey call civilians "idiots" and "Bastards" but you dey surprise to hear the governor call that ganjar smoking, ogogoro drinking and rotten teeth soldier "Useless".

Tinubu wey your Chief of Army dey salute no be civilian?

That gun wey you dey carry wey dey chark you for head no be civilians buy am for you?

Proceeds from crude oil in the Niger delta region were used to buy him weapons to conquer the rest of Nigeria and impose Islamic sharia criminal justice system upon all in Nigeria.

This one go loose him job ode

crossbreedwears:
End of career ke? Bro, he will be released abd won't even get demoted. He will only be fined for passing one way according to the Governor

You see how some of you show your ignorance, if he is fine, it mean he was convicted of the crime and ex- convict cannot be a soldier, not only soldier any uniform at all.. the only person that is going to help him now is Lagos government , they may not charge him to court but your like are making this big for this useless boy
