Photos: Soldiers set BRT buses on fire on Ikorodu Road

Soldiers have been on a rampage for hours now after one of their own was crushed by a BRT bus this morning. Aside from beating people up mercilessly, BRT buses have been set on fire..and this is close to a filling station. But is this how to resolve the issue?

Security man in Palmgrove Estate battered after soldier is killed by BRT bus

So it's been confirmed that a BRT bus killed a soldier at Palmgrove bus stop in Palmgrove, Lagos this morning, which caused the soldier  rampage . The BRT driver who hit the soldier ran into Palmgrove estate in order to avoid the wrath of other soldiers present. Upon noticing that the driver ran away, the Army men ran into Palmgrove estate and when they couldn't find the driver, seized one of the Estate's security men. (pictured above) According to eye-witnesses, the soldiers beat the man mercilessly and took him away. He was released hours later badly beaten and traumatized. He had nothing to do with the incident but paid for it. Sad! Heard they even burnt down a BRT bus. Is their anger justified?
