Photos of Army officers 'Harassed' by Gov Fashola on BRT lane

Nobody is above the law. Governor Fashola yesterday 'arrested' or let me say confronted two senior military officers who drove on the  BRT lane at the Outer Marina in Lagos. The Governor was around the area when he spotted the military car driving on the Bus Rapid Transit lane which is meant strictly for the BRT buses, and came down from his own car to confront the men.

Governor Fashola later said, “I don’t use the BRT lane, I sit down in traffic and I expect everyone who wants to drive his car to do the same. The alternative is to use the bus. The bus is for those who cannot afford to buy cars. They have the right also to use the road and we cannot encroach on that lane which we have reserved for them. This is democratisation of the road and I will defend it.”

Hopefully, this would serve as a deterrent to other military officers.

No arrest was made but the military officers were at least embarrassed by the confrontation.
