Fashola Bitter Over Soldiers Yesterday’s Misconduct

-
The Governor of Lagos State, Raji Fashola has condemned the actions of some military men who took to Ikorodu express road yesterday at Palmgroove to burn BRT buses, beat up DRIVERS and even innocent Lagosians who were going about their normal day-to-day activities. 

The Governor frowned at their action and says he wonders why public servants who are being paid with tax payers’ money should destroy government property and get involved in such illicit act.

“As far I know, if something happens to you while you are conducting an unlawful act it is a criminal offence”, Fashola said. Read his statement after the cut. 


”There is an allegation that someone who was not supposed to be on the BRT route was on it. As far I know, ifsomething happens to you while you are conducting an unlawful act it is  a criminal offence.

“But it is really disappointing  that public servants, and that is what soldiers are, paid with tax payer’s money, will act in a manner that is being  suggested.

“I am waiting for the  official report to let me know who played what role and what happened. And whether the Brigade Commander has been able to identify the people who committed the offence. If it turns out to be true, it will be a very irresponsible conduct, to put it very mildly.

“In 2006  soldiers stormed   the Area C Police Station. We have just managed to reconstruct it. If buses that citizens are complaining are  not enough are set ablaze, I do not know how setting ablaze buses recompense any injury that one may have suffered. I do not know how damaging public property is the restitution for  any injury that may have come. For now, the only thing that I can say to you is that when I get the full fact, I will address the residents, to let them know what happened and what the state action will be.

“I have been IN TOUCH with the Brigade commander, who assured  me  that he was managing the situation. Nothing I have here is verified, I am waiting for a  formal report before we can ventilate a position”.

The reality star went for lunch in Calabasas with her sisters Kourtney and Khloe, and her mother Kris Jenner, while filming their reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Sorry Kourtney: (L-R) Kim and Khloe Kardashian left their elder sister in the shade in Calabasas on Friday   Kim teamed her trousers – which quite frankly looked like they had been sprayed on – with a pair of matching high heels with thin straps that laced around her ankles.

It is just one month until she will marry her baby daddy Kanye West, and Kim appears to have been shedding for the wedding.   Sister act: Kim and Khloe b
