Governor, Babatunde Fashola described today's action by
the Nigerian Army as very disappointing, stating that they
are public servants paid with tax payers money, so
shouldn't behave in such a manner. He however said he's
waiting for a formal report to know what really transpired.
"I spoke with the Brigadier General who said he was
managing and controlling the situation. Nothing I have
yet is verified. I am waiting for a formal report before we
then can ventilate a position. There is allegation that
somebody who was not supposed to be on the BRT
route was on the BRT route. As far as I know if
something happens to you while you are conducting an
unlawful act, it's a criminal offense in its own sense. Its
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 this being suggested because I am
waiting for official report to let me know really who
played what role, what happened, whether or not even
the brigade commander has been able to identify the
people who were involved...but if it turns out to be true,
it would be a very very irresponsible conduct to put it
very mildly" he said.
