Reports hold that Nigerian soldiers are currently on rampage in the Palmgroove /Ikorodu road in Lagos. An eye-witness said trouble started when a BRT bus hit a soldier on a bike.

There are indications that the soldier may have been crushed to death but other soldiers immediately arrived the scene and started stopping all BRT buses on the express beating drivers and sending passengers out. We also learnt that the soldiers were also beating even passers-by who move too close to them or try to take pictures.

According the eye-witness who sent in the photos to LIB, two civilians were allegedly beaten up and a guy who was taking pictures was beaten and his phone smashed on the express road.

Then the soldiers allegedly started vandalizing the buses! According to the source, some soldiers left the express and took big sticks from women cooking by the road to break the glasses of the bus. Then one of them took stones and allegedly threw it into the crowd twice. Now the whole express is blocked. See photos after the cut...
