Operatives of the Nigerian soldiers have brutalised an official of the Lagos State Traffic Management Authority (LASTMA) in the Ojota area of Lagos.
In a trending video, the angry soldiers in uniform and one on mufti descended on the official and pummeled him.
Other LASTMA operatives took to their heels as their colleague was being mauled by the army personnel, and his pleas fell on deaf ears.
While the cause of the humiliation of the Lagos state government traffic officer was not known, an unofficial report claimed it was a reprisal attack as LASTMA officers had last week molested a soldier in the same Ojota area.
It was then revealed that the soldiers launched a reprisal attack on the LASTMA officer, as commuters and pedestrians could not help but to film the scene.
The soldiers used both blows and planks to beat the officer to pulp before leaving the area.
