Soldiers attached to the Ojo military cantonment has reportedly beaten a police inspector identified as Monday Orube to death over an argument on the right of way in Lagos traffic.
The sad incident happened on Wednesday along Lagos-Badagry expressway, very close to the Ojo military cantonment. According to sources close to the incident, the argument started after three officers who were acting as traffic wardens stopped a road lane in order to allow for the easy flow of traffic.
The police officers did not know that they had inadvertently stopped the lane where a coastal bus conveying soldiers was passing through. A source revealed that the soldiers questioned the police officers on why they allowed civilians to move before them.
The soldiers insisted that they would not wait like the others but instead pass through one-way. The police officers on duty kicked against their insubordination and a fracas ensued between the both of them.
