Speaking with Channels TV this evening, Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola described today's action by the Nigerian Army as very disappointing, verbalizing that they are public coadjutants paid with tax payers mazuma, so shouldn't comport in such a manner. He however verbalized he's waiting for a formal report to ken what authentically transpired.
"I verbalized with the Brigadier General who verbally expressed he was managing and controlling the situation. Nothing I have yet is verified. I am waiting for a formal report afore we then can ventilate a position. There is allegation that somebody who was not supposed to be on the BRT route was on the BRT route. As far as I ken if something transpires to you while you are conducting an unlawful act, it's a malefactor offense in its own sense. Its authentically disappointing to put it mildly that public auxiliaries, and that is what soldiers are, paid with tax payers mazuma will act in a manner that is being suggested here, and I verbalize this being suggested because I am waiting for official report to let me ken genuinely who played what role, what transpired, whether or not even the brigade commander has been able to identify the people who were involved...but if it turns out to be true, it would be a very very irresponsible conduct to put it very mildly" he verbally expressed
