ML Metro: Gov. Fashola arrests military officers on BRT lane

TWO military officers who drove on the
dedicated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) lane
were on Tuesday arrested by Lagos State
Governor Babatunde Fashola who
expressed anger that those who should
show the highest form of discipline and
professionalism were the ones violating the law.

The duo accosted on the BRT lane at the
Outer Marina in Central Lagos are Colonel
Ki Yusuf who drove in an green official
Peugeot 406 sedan with registration
Number BO1 – 150 NA and Staff Sergeant Adeomi A.J. in a black Toyota Camry.

A statement by Hakeem Bello, Special
Adviser on Media to Fashola, said:
"Realizing that the game was up, Colonel
Yusuf came down from his car, saluted and kept muttering, 'I am sorry, very, very sorry,' with the governor enquiring why, as a senior military officer, he chose to break the law instead of preserving it.

Fashola said he had already made a
representation to the superiors of the
culprits expressing optimism that they
would be sanctioned appropriately.
