Governor Babatunde
Fashola of Lagos state has described yesterday's rampage by men of the Nigerian
Army at PalmGroove as a very disappointing and unlawful act of misconduct. In his statement with Channels
TV last night, he stressed that such destructive act is not expected of a public
servants in which the Soldiers are.
Read his statements
below:
"I spoke with the Brigadier General who said he was managing and
controlling the situation. Nothing I have yet is verified. I am waiting for a
formal report before 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 know if something happens to you while you are conducting an unlawful
act, it's a criminal offense in its own sense. Its really disappointing to put
it mildly that public servants, and that is what soldiers are, paid with tax
payers money will act in a manner that is being suggested here, and I say this
being suggested because I am waiting for official report to let me know really
who played what role, what happened, 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"
However, despite the
photo evidence the Nigerian Army has ridiculously denied the destructive act. While speaking
with Premium Times, the Public Relations Officer of the Nigerian Army, Gen.
Olajide Olaleye said the act was carried out by the ‘Area boys’ and not any of
its member.
