BRT bus knocks down soldier in Lagos, Soldiers set BRT buses on fire (photos)

Soldiers went on rampage today at the Palmgroove area on Ikorodu Road, Lagos after a BRT bus allegedly knocked down and killed a soldier on a motorcycle.

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.

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.

The soldiers took to the streets setting ablaze BRT buses, beating up drivers and conductors while other BRT bus operators parked their vehicles and ran for dear life. See more photos below...
