motorist for having an argument with a soldier over the right of way.

The soldiers numbering about four reportedly chased the motorist identified barrister Olajide Sipe, from 23 road Mobile Petrol station, shooting and at his vehicle in the process.

Our correspondent at the scene was told by relatives of the victim that but for the timely intervention of a retired commodore who stopped his car and restrained the soldiers from inflicting more injuries on the Jide, he could have lost his life in the attack.

After the commodore intervened, Jide was rushed by
bystanders to Mercy Gate hospital along 72 Road where is receiving treatment.

Narrating his ordeal to our correspondent at the hospital, Jide said: I was coming from where I went to buy water barely ten minutes after talking with my wife on the phone, at 23 Road Mobil Petrol station, those buying fuel had blocked one lane and a soldier had stopped a bus on the other lane in the middle of the road.

“When I realsed that the soldier was blocking the road I said to him, Oga this thing you are doing is causing
holdup, why don’t you take the bus out of the road, so that we can move, and then he said to me who are you, what nonsense are you talking, and I said, no Oga I’m not trying to teach you what to do, I’m only telling you that if you do this thing it will be better for us using the road.

“The next thing he said was, You must be a useless man, then when I saw that he was already taking that tone I decided to move my car, then he started running after me, after I took the turning on 23 Road, another soldier, light in complexion came in front of my car, I stopped, then he began kicking my front wheel and smashed my windscreen.


“When I saw he was kicking my car, I moved, then the two Soldiers boarded a bike, then they later became four and began chasing me, as I got to 7th Avenue, I made a U-turn and they rammed their bike into my car, then I drove off, when the soldiers saw me driving off they shot at the car twice, the second bullet hit my tyre.


When I heard the sound of the gun I couldn’t believe I was being shot at. After my tyre went flat, I came down and they ran to me and beat me blue black, after that people around brought me to the hospital.


The relatives of the victim said the commanding officer of the soldiers, Lieutenant Sadi, later came to the hospital to see the damage his men had caused to an innocent citizen, but offered no further succor.

Animals

The rate at which soldiers violate human right in Nigeria is unbearable.

After all, some folks will be defending their illegal act all in the name training/hardship they gone through to become a soldier.

My question is "Is it only African soldiers that go through such training?

Never argue with a mad man!

Funny enough they don't go through as hard a training as some soldiers in other countries. And those soldiers don't bully their citizens.

Me have made up my mind, that anytime a mad man all in the name of being a soldier attempt to infringe upon my right it's gonna be a war even if my life is at stake.

I would rather die fighting for my right than to be alive and watch my right getting un-derserve treatment.

Was probably rushed in Shock

soldiers and lawlessness

My people say, if you are taking a shower and a mad man comes and steals your clothes. If you chase the mad man, people will say "look at two mad Men chasing each other". Need I say more?

Not again. Just when we are getting a relieve from the regular shooters (police)

WAR START: Military vs Legal. Who will win. Watch out for the movie coming out soon

solid3:
Stewpid lawyer. See what I have caused for ya sef now. Hope the argument and right of way will pay ur hostpital bill and also fix ur car.

What are you saying

let the shooter get ready to be nailed in court soon.

The respect we give these people don too much sotey they will start misbehaving. This is the reason I dont feel sad sometimes when any of these foolish force men are being killed.

Good for the yoruba lawyer, I am sure he was one of those hailing the killing of unarmed protesters by bloodthirsty soldiers. Let karma continue to reign! E sweet my belle.

tomorrow the government will still recruits vagabonds into the Nigerian military instead of those that are really ready to work.

All this trigger happy godogodos sef

This is wrong. Shooting in a residential area. Very bad.
Dismiss them? Nahh send them to Borno - Sambisa forest. Abi they want to be shooting n playing Rambo what better place.
This man also deserves justice not just us.

ok

To think these animals are paid to serve and protect...

Rip lawyer

Nigeria soldiers need serious reorientation this can never happen in Ghana sef.

The rate at which lawyers loose their respect these days is alarming.

The other day mopol beat up one.

Well, it's all cos of the state of the Nation.

My GOD


This is un acceptable.

Those soldier need to be dismissed from the N. A. They don't deserve to wear that uniform..
