Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
A suspected drunk motorist crashed into the Myoung Barracks in the Morocco neighbourhood of Shomolu in Lagos, killing four troops and injuring others.
The troops were jogging on the road outside the barracks in the early hours of Friday, like they do every month, when the car struck them.
An eyewitness named Priscilla, who lives in the area, told our correspondent that the Toyota car was carrying three young males when it ran at full speed and collided with the soldiers.
She claimed that when the young guys tried to flee following the collision, they were caught, beaten, and their car was vandalised.
According to the eyewitness, one of the young men was stabbed.
She said, “The incident happened in the early hours of this morning when the soldiers were doing their monthly morning road walk when the young men rammed into the soldiers in front of the barracks.
“Four of the soldiers were dead, and many of them were seriously injured. After the incident, the boys attempted to run away but were apprehended and mercilessly beaten to a stupor while their vehicle was vandalised. Also, one of the boys was stabbed by the soldiers.
“The incident has caused panic among the residents in the area.”
As of the time of filing this report, the Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 81 Division, Olabisi Ayeni, and the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, have yet to respond to the messages sent to their phones.
