The video was
captioned, “This happened around 5:16 p.m. on Moloney Street, Lagos Island
opposite the Police Office/Kam Salem house. We were on the right side of the
road coming from Obalende but had to stop as there was an oncoming vehicle in
our way. This vehicle should have been on the left side.
“We hooted several
times but the vehicle refused to move. We then heard other disgruntled drivers
murmur, ‘na soldier oh’ and so we reversed in an attempt to wriggle our way out
peacefully.
“But to our surprise,
the soldier reversed and intentionally drove forward to hit our car. These
videos show the altercation right from when we were wrongly hit.”
The soldier was said
