Lagos
State Governor, Babatunde Raji Fashola In an interview with Channels TV, described the 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. Fashola 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” Fashola said.
