Lagos State
Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday reprimanded two military officers for
driving on the dedicated Bus Rapid Transit lane.
The soldiers were accosted on the BRT lane at the Outer Marina on
the Island.
Fashola expressed dismay that those who should show discipline and
professionalism were the ones violating the BRT regulation.
Colonel K.I. Yusuf drove an Army Green Peugeot 406 with
registration number BO1 – 150 NA, while Staff Sergeant A.J. Adeomi drove a
black Toyota Camry.
Perhaps realising the problem that could come from being accosted
by the governor, Yusuf reportedly alighted from his car and saluted Fashola
repeatedly, saying, “I am sorry, very, very sorry.”
But the governor instead asked, “Why, as a senior military
officer, did you choose to break the law instead of preserving it?”
