The incident occurred on Monday, August 14th, 2023, in the Ojota area of Lagos state.
In the video, soldiers can be seen physically assaulting a LASTMA official, who is yet to be identified.
The LASTMA officer pleaded tearfully for mercy during the aggressive encounter.
This confrontation follows a previous incident where a LASTMA official assaulted a soldier inside a commercial vehicle known as a ‘Danfo’ in the Ketu area of Lagos state.
In response to this earlier event, a group of uniformed individuals, presumably colleagues of the assaulted soldier, descended upon the Ojota area.
