Lagos – Soldiers Beat Shege Out of LastMa Officials Video
Following viral videos showing soldiers and officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) engaging in a scuffle in Lagos, top management of LASTMA has met with officials of the Nigerian Army.
soldiers of the Nigerian Army, on Monday, beat up an officer of LASTMA for an undisclosed offence.
In the video, the soldiers numbering about three, are seen with clubs and sticks, kicking and punching the LASTMA officer who obviously was in pain, rolling on the ground.
Monday’s incident must have been a retaliatory attack.
The incident reportedly happened in the Ojota area of the state.

It would be recalled that some days ago, a LASTMA official was captured in a video assaulting a soldier who was onboard a commercial vehicle popularly known as ‘Danfo’ in the same Ojota area.
But receiving the officials of the 9 Brigade Command of the Nigerian Army led by Bridgadier General Adegoke Moses Adetuyi at LASTMA Headquarters, Oshodi on Tuesday, the General Manager of the traffic agency, Bolaji Oreagba, regretted the unfortunate incidents.
Oreagba maintained that there is no love lost between the two sister agencies and that LASTMA personnel would continue to rely on continuous support from the Nigerian Army and other security agencies across the state.
“We won’t abuse the relationship nor take the cordiality and warm friendliness which has existed between the Army and Lastma for granted,” Oreagba said.
He assured that such occurrence would not repeat itself as existing channels of communication would be maintained and additional new hotlines be explored by the two agencies to always resolve issues.
