Col. Yusuf after he was accosted by governor Fashola on Tuesday.
The Nigerian Army has said it would investigate two soldiers who drove on Bus Rapid Transit lane in Lagos on Tuesday.
The soldiers – Col. K. I. Yusuf and Staff Sergeant A.J. Adeomi –were accosted by the state Governor, Babatunde Fashola, on the BRT lane at Outer Marina, Lagos Island, on Tuesday.
The Army in a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, 81 Division, Lt. - Col. Kayode Ogunsanya, said the soldiers would be appropriately sanctioned because they were expected to obey the laws of the state.
The statement reads:
“It was alleged that the state governor on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 reprimanded two military officers, namely Col. K. I. Yusuf and Staff Sergeant A. A. Adeomi, for driving on the dedicated BRT lane.
“It is true that these personnel made use of the dedicated BRT lane thereby contravening the BRT laws. Lagos State Government forbids non – BRT buses from plying these dedicated lanes which are exclusive rights of way for BRT buses.
“However, the General Officer Commanding 81 Division Nigerian Army, Maj. Gen. Kenneth Minimah, has directed that the incident be investigated and the personnel involved be sanctioned accordingly.”
