He said that the soldier that was arrested for riding against the flow of traffic does not represent the army, because the army believes in discipline and respect for the law. He said that only one soldier made a video to condemn Governor Sanwo-Olu and he is under investigation. He also said that the people in the other videos were not soldiers (they were wearing fake uniforms, etc) and he described them as comedians.

I was telling one knuckle head that the governor was right to have raised issue with the erring soldier. That will serve as deterrent to some iiiiiiiiiidiots who think because they uphold the law that they can over ride it

A welcome development.

Other clowns should take note.
One recruit would be used as scapegoat.

One stolen valor idiot even said Sanwo Olu is power drunk for arresting a soldier riding on one way.
He said Sanwo Olu should have apologised immediately the rider identified as a soldier.

Yes! Soldier violated the law by driving against traffic laws but cursing or calling the soldier useless is not statemanly from a governor. Soldiers have been saving the asses of these politicians while being used for their dirty works. Lekki tollplaza massacre comes to mind.

Which investigation again. huh

So disgusting that the soldier justified driving one-way by a soldier. Infact the mentality of most soldiers on the street is that they are above the Law. He must be dealt with & used as scapegoat to correct that negative impression.

Last time, it was unknown soldier. Now, it’s comedian? Haba na. Give us better lie. Very soon, those Blak Ax soldiers that are showing themselves all over Social Media will be tagged as skit makers.

Honestly, they have wawaed the job of my fathers by serving young bas7ards lion peppersoup.

The governor should also be condemned for insulting a traffic offender because politicians and their convoys breaks traffic laws all the time.

Nice statement from the army chief.

Those 'bloody civilians' taking sides with the social media soldiers against Dr. Sanwo-Olu can now rest.

Brainless nitwits.

We know who they are.
They aren't comedians.
They are mad people.
They are terrorists.

Now the head of the army has spoken.
Sanwo-Olu's haters, go and do your worst.
