that one of their buses killed a soldier. Soldiers went on a rampage
yesterday around the Palmgrove area of Lagos, stopping BRT buses,
asking passengers to get down, beating the drivers, destroying the
buses before eventually setting them on fire. The damage yesterday is
said to be worth over N100million.
But speaking about it, a LAGBUS official said they had nothing to do
with it, explaining that they only found a corpse in their bus and
went to report it to the police;
"By 10 p.m. last night, one of our buses broke down at Onipanu; by 11
p.m., a rescue team with a van went to the scene to tow the bus.
Unfortunately, area boys started stoning our team which made our men
to leave. Meanwhile, the driver put on hazard lights and C- Caution to
alert motorists of the breakdown. Continue...
"By 5am this morning, before the rescue team got to the scene, a
corpse had been deposited in our bus and a motorcycle parked behind
it.
"When we saw it, we reported the case to the Pedro Police Station,
Somolu, but before we got back to the scene, soldiers had burnt down
five BRT buses and one belonging to LAGBUS.BRT buses were later
withdrawn from the roads yesterday to prevent more damages. The man
who died was an army corporal
