SOLDIERS' RAMPAGE IN LAGOS: GOV. FASHOLA SPEAKS!

The Lagos State governor, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, has advised law enforcement agents to be guided against taking laws into their hands as this act will only set the society back. Fashola, while speaking with newsmen in Lagos after a meeting of the State Executive Council, said: “I don’t know how damaging public property is restitution for any injury that may have come.

There is allegation that somebody who was not supposed to be on the BRT route was there and as far as I know if something happens to you while you are conducting an unlawful act, it is a criminal offence in its own sense.

“It’s really disappointing to put it mildly that public servants, and that is what soldiers are, paid with tax payers money will act in a manner that is being suggested here, and I say being suggested because I am waiting for official report to let me know who really played what role, what happened, whether or not even the Brigade Commander has been able to identify the people who were involved. I remember it was in 2005 or 2006 that soldiers went on rampage in Barracks area of Surulere and set ablaze the Area C Police Command and we just managed to finish completion and equipping that building”.
