Trouble started when a BRT bus hit a soldier on a bike, he died (RIP) and soldiers immediately arrived at the scene and started stopping all BRT buses on Ikorodu road beating drivers and sending passengers out. Beating even passers by who move too close to them or take pictures.
According the eye-witness 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!, some soldiers left the express and took big sticks from women cooking by the roadside to break the windows of the buses. Then one of them took stones and allegedly threw it into the crowd twice. Now the whole express is blocked. Sources say 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, 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.
