Some rampaging soldiers in Lagos State some
hours ago set buses belonging to the Lagos
State Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system on fire
after one of them was hit by one of the buses
in Palmgrove area.
Eye-witness said the incident happened when
the BRT driver changed his lane and
accidentally knocked down the soldier on a
bike. The soldier wasn't KILLED! As a matter
of fact, he made calls after he was hit...the
passengers in the BRT bus including the driver
tried pleading with him but he was adamant.
Irked by the occurrence, the soldiers touched
some BRT buses in sight, shot sporadically,
harassed commuters and also smashed
phones of bystanders who tried to capture
their act.
The development has in the meantime caused
a terrible gridlock, with some motorists and
other Nigerians discussing the incident on
social media.
The mayhem is still on and right now, BRT
buses have been set on fire.
The BRT driver who hit the soldier is
presently on the run; he allegedly ran into
Palmgrove estate in order to avoid the wrath
of other soldiers present.
However, upon noticing that the driver ran
away, the Army men ran into Palmgrove estate
and seized one of the Estate’s security men.
According to eye-witnesses, the ‘innocent’
security man was beaten mercilessly.
He was released hours later badly beaten and
traumatized.
