Lagos State Governor Babatunde Fashola on Tuesday reprimanded two military officers for driving on the dedicated Bus Rapid Transit lane.
The soldiers were accosted on the BRT lane at the Outer Marina on the Island.
Fashola expressed dismay that those who should show discipline and professionalism were the ones violating the BRT regulation.
Colonel K.I. Yusuf drove an Army Green Peugeot 406 with registration number BO1 – 150 NA, while Staff Sergeant A.J. Adeomi drove a black Toyota Camry.
Perhaps realising the problem that could come from being accosted by the governor, Yusuf reportedly alighted from his car and saluted Fashola repeatedly, saying, “I am sorry, very, very sorry.”
But the governor instead asked, “Why, as a senior military officer, did you choose to break the law instead of preserving it?”
