A soldier has criticised the Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, for arresting his colleague and three other motorcyclists for going on the wrong lane on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. The soldier, whose identity is unknown, defended his colleague in a viral video on Thursday, and blamed Sanwo-Olu for insulting a soldier as ‘useless’ in front of ‘rude civilians’.
Ishieldpoint found out on Tuesday that, Sanwo-Olu ordered the arrest of a soldier and three other motorcyclists for violating traffic rules on the Lagos-Badagry Expressway. In a viral video, Sanwo-Olu was seen telling his men to put one of the motorcyclists who said he was a soldier into the vehicle, saying that he was going to jail him.
The soldier who reacted to the arrest, said the state governor had no authority to arrest a soldier, especially near his barracks. He said that soldiers are not under the command of any state governor but their senior officers. He said, “Did your governor just call a soldier, lance corporal useless? a lance corporal…This man has a broken arm, they shot at the man. He has metal in his hands.
