A video capturing a disturbing incident involving Nigerian army operatives assaulting an officer from the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) has recently emerged on social media platforms.
The incident took place on August 14th, 2023, in the Ojota area of Lagos state.
In the video that has been trending online, a group of soldiers can be seen physically attacking an unidentified LASTMA official.
The official is shown being mercilessly beaten as he pleads in tears to be released from the assault.
This incident comes just a week after another distressing event, where a LASTMA official was caught on camera assaulting a soldier within a commercial vehicle, commonly known as a ‘Danfo,’ in the Ketu area of the state.
In response to the attack on their fellow soldier, a group of uniformed individuals retaliated by descending on the Ojota area.
They brutally beat the LASTMA officer who was on duty in that vicinity.
Witnesses to the scene were observed fleeing for safety as the military personnel continued their assault on the LASTMA official.
The victim could be seen desperately seeking assistance during the harrowing incident.
