Can you believe that, a Policeman slapped a Soldier and the matter was settled amicably without anybody loosing his/her life. The soldier fell to the floor immediately and it took him some time before he could stand up to his feet:::
"Motorists and pedestrians, who plied the Obanikoro end of Ikorodu Road around 8:30am on Thursday, watched a free show as a mini-drama ensued after a policeman allegedly slapped a soldier for driving on the lane designated for the Bus Rapid Transit.
According to a witness, who identified himself as Peter, the soldier was driving on the BRT lane when an official of Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, accosted him for driving on designated lane.
He said, “There was a bit of a traffic jam. So, the soldier decided to use the BRT lane in order to beat the traffic when suddenly, a LASTMA official and some policemen went to accost him. Of course, the soldier felt he was superior to them and spoke to them in a condescending manner and the policeman decided to give him a slap.
“Immediately, the soldier fell and we don’t even know if he fainted or was just lying down. After sometime, the soldier woke up and made a call to his colleagues.”
Peter added that the incident intensified the already heavy vehicular traffic from Obanikoro to Idiroko Bus Stop as people gathered to watch the drama unfold.
PUNCH METRO gathered that some minutes later, Commander 9th Brigade of the Nigerian Army, Ikeja, Lagos, Brig.-Gen. Sanusi Muazu, intervened and took the soldier away.
