buses have denied 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BRT buses were later withdrawn from the roads yesterday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
