NEWS: Governor Fashola Condemns Military Rampage Today

Speaking with Channels TV this evening, Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola described today's action by the Nigerian Army as very disappointing, stating that they are public servants paid with tax payers money, so shouldn't behave in such a manner. He however said he's waiting for a formal report to know what really transpired.

"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" he said.

ALL THE PEOPLE THAT'RE SAYING UNLAWFUL BY THE SOLDIERS , MY QUESTION TO YOU AND YOUR  STUPID USELESS AND CLUELESS GOVERNOR , IS IT LAWFUL FOR BRT BUSES TO INTENTIONALLY KILL PERSON BECAUSE THE PERSON APPLY BRT ROAD ?
IS ONLY PERSON THAT DON'T APPLY LAGOS ROAD WILL NOT KNOW HOW WICKED THESE BRT DRIVERS ARE, ALSO MANY OF THEM ARE ALWAYS DRIVING ON INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL AND DRUGS. MR FASHOLA SHARRAP AND CLOSE YOUR MOUTH.

But how can road be built and it's only particular vehicles that are using it?, this is very uncivilized to me bcos all I know is like in developed Countries, trailers use certain roads and not during the day time in particular.

Blame everybody,when blames are turned to everybody then is no longer blame is state of confusion.Soldiers are are meant to fight war inside or outside our shores to defend our country either for invasion or illegal border encroaching in the sea,land and air,as the matter may be.but you see that things have fallen apart now the main center cannot hold any longer,do you blame the military or civilians who cannot even afford three square meal a day,who goes on zero zero.one finally force to sleep to avoid being hungry cause there would not be no food to eat.Nigeria,Nigeria,its time to kill Alibaba,yes its time.Our good friend Mummar who was mercilessly killed said that its better to and for this Nation Nigerian tribes,ie the main tribes divorce each other reasonably and matured fashion,this is said just barely some years ago,and the reply to this was like a rage of fire.calling him names and raining abuses that he was a mad dog of desert try to recolonized Africa with vast rich oil money.No deep down in him it was not his thoughts.Africa has been the center piece of his foreign policy favourably and understandably.Now most Nigerians are seeing out exactly what this man was saying,what he meant has come to surface out.when Nigerian Military can not contain and wipe out off faceless and two way sword named BOKO HARAM which makes  the Nation Nigeria stand still,declaring there own government in the same nation we call our beloved country Nigeria.Soldiers went on rampage in lagos because is lagos or because that was where they instructed them to fight,why not show there strenght in the deep forest of CHIBOK.if  its they have more than enough strenght to destroy,since they are sybomlically know for fight.We do not want property destruction rather we infact need our children back safe and sound.with the collection combine of all the forces in Nigeria,from ordinary Civil defence,Customs,Immigrations,Police,Navy,Airforce and Soldiers,Boko Haram will be no where to found,not a single terrorist among them.so why a country called itself a GIANT OF AFRICA  able to send troops to Liberia,Sudan,Mali,Kenya and so on so on,why cant Nigeria be capable finally putting a stop to backyard terro group called BOKO HARAM.
Dr Phil needs a pat on the shoulder for real vocal truth
