Soldiers Go Wild After Fashola’s ‘Humiliation’ Of Colonel? by Sunofgod(m): 4:55pm On Jul 19, 2012 |
Soldiers went wild yesterday and attacked officers of the Lagos State Taskforce on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit at Yaba area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria. This might not be unconnected with the ‘humiliation’ of an Army Colonel by Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday for driving on BRT lane. The soldiers attacked the taskforce officials with bottles and stones and used knife to puncture two tyres of the Black Maria used in conveying offenders. Trouble started on Murtala Muhammed Way, Yaba close to an Army barracks when the taskforce officials, who were on patrol to ensure smooth flow of traffic, spotted a commuter bus parked in the middle of the road and obstructing traffic. The tasforce officials were said to have accosted the driver but a soldier who was sitting in the bus collected the key from the driver to prevent the taskforce officials from taking the bus away. The soldier was said to have called for reinforcement from the 81 Division barracks and within minutes, several soldiers trooped out from the barracks and began to haul stones and other dangerous missiles at the taskforce officials. Some of the soldiers were said to be making unsavoury remarks about the governor for daring to arrest and humiliate an Army Colonel on Tuesday and decided to vent their anger on the taskforce officials. As the situation worsened, the taskforce also called for a reinforcement. It was in the heat of the clash that the tyres of the Black Maria were torn with knife and deflated. An eye witness said a top military officer, a Lieutenant, allegedly ordered his boys to abduct some of the taskforce officials and take them to the barracks. Calm was restored when a senior taskforce official intervened and asked his boys to beat a retreat. Taskforce Chairman, Bayo Sulaiman confirmed the attack on his men and described it as an affront on the state government for soldiers to vandalise government vehicle. He said it was wrong for soldiers to attack taskforce officials on legitimate duty with stones and other dangerous weapons. http://pmnewsnigeria.com/2012/07/19/soldiers-go-wild-in-lagos-after-fasholas-humiliation-of-colonel/ 2 Likes |

Why are our journalists like this? Since when did a lieutenant become a "top military official". Rids the reporter and story of any credibility even if likely true. 3 Likes |

Eko Ile: Why is lagos still part of the sorry mess called Nigeria?o tell that to those who have never been to lagos. Lagos is one giant disorganised mess. There, people don't actually "live" they just "exist" . congestion, traffic, smelly environment, extortive rents etc, are all features of lagos. One giant sh1t hole, lag. So quit forming as if we are talking of Paris or Cape town here. 30 Likes |

In a normal society, the soldiers themselves also know they are not above the law. Their superiors would punish them more than they would a civilian if they broke the law. But instead, we see here that their superiors support their rowdiness. 4 Likes |
