NOW THE NEWS IN FULL.....

Oct 15th 2015, 04:21

 Soldiers pummeled an official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority, Peter Owolabi,for stopping their van at the Obanikoro bus stop on the Ikorodu Road, Lagos State.

The soldiers, who were in a black Honda Accord car with number plate, CP 839 YAB, drove through the Bus Rapid Transit lane, when they were stopped by Owolabi at the Obanikoro bus stop.

It was gathered that when the official queried them for flouting the state traffic laws, the soldiers got down from the car, and surrounded him.

PUNCH Metro learnt that the commotion, which occurred at about 6pm, drew crowd to the scene.

A resident, who asked not to be named, told our correspondent that when the officers, who did not have any explanation for driving on the BRT lane, were given a fine ticket meant for violators, they became infuriated, and descended on Owolabi.

She added that a LASTMA cameraman, suspected to be recording the scene, had his camera smashed by the soldiers.

She said, "There were four soldiers in the car, including a colonel. The soldiers were with the colonel, who did not come down from the car during the fracas. The soldiers were stopped at Obanikoro for driving violating traffic law.

"They were then given a fine ticket on the spot. But the officers refused to collect the ticket and blocked the road, preventing other vehicles from entering the service lane. They dealt blows on the officer and kicked anyone with a recording device, or coming close to intervene. It lasted for about 30 minutes.

"One of the LASTMA's cameramen was also beaten and his gadget was shattered."

Our correspondent gathered that Owolabi, whose eyes were reportedly swollen from the beating, had been taken to an undisclosed hospital for treatment.

The General Manager of LASTMA, Mr. Bashir Braimah, confirmed the attack. He added that it was regrettable that the soldiers broke the traffic law with impunity.

He said, 

"Our officials were out in a joint enforcement of the BRT lane violation. We were there with the police. It is regrettable that the soldiers violated the traffic law with impunity. They should be the custodians of law and not be working against the law.

"The law is no respecter of person, and the road traffic law must be obeyed in order to ensure the safety of lives and property. Over 15 vehicles belonging to the military violated the traffic law on Monday. Among them was a silver Toyota Matrix 103 AT fully loaded with top military personnel.

"There was also a bus belonging to the Nigeria Army College of Nursing with number plate, NA 830 BOA, an army green Peugeot with number plate, NA 284 B0/1, a silver Nissan, KTU 820 AY, a silver colour Toyota Camry, KJA 233 TB, a green Hilux truck, DHQ 232, among others."

Braimah said the vehicles on the BRT corridors were either driven by soldiers or with military paraphernalia hanging in the vehicles.

KEEP SCROLLING TO THE END ...WE STILL GOT LOTS MORE .......

Revenge is a Poison meant for others, which we end up swallowing ourselves. Vengence is a Dark Light that blinds all who seek it. Don’t argue with Idiots.. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

YOU CAN SKIP THIS PART(short joke)...

A young couple moved into a new neighbourhood. The next morning while eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour through the window hanging the wash outside.

"That laundry is not clean," she said. "She doesn't know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better laundry soap".

Her husband looked on, but remained silent. Every time the neighbour would hang laundry to dry, the young woman would make the same
comments.

About one month later, the woman was surprised to see nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband: "Look, she has learnt how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this!"

The husband replied: "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life.

What we see when watching others depends on the purity of the window through which we look.

Easy to discuss other people, their lives and things that don't really concern us.

Yet we tend to forget- our window isn't that clean after all.

Clean up your window with the WORD! (THE TRUTH.)

LORD, please give us the strength, humility and courage that we may work on our faults first rather than seeing the faults in Others and castigating them.

Have a beautiful Week !
