Soldiers have reportedly tied an electronics dealer, Lukman
Lambo in a motorcycle and dragged him around in the Ikorodu area of Lagos
State. he reportedly sustained injury that
left his eye damaged so much that he may have to undergo a surgery to regain the
use of his left eye.
Trouble started when the girlfriend of one of the soldiers
had a disagreement with Lukman’s younger brother, Saheed Lambo. Saheed and the
lady, identified simply as Dasola, were neighbours on Itulubajo Lane, Alhaji
Street, Ikorodu. The duo was
lovers, until a few weeks ago when a disagreement over money strained their
relationship.
However, residents clashed around 11am on Saturday, November
11, in the house where Saheed lives. It was said that Dasola went to watch the
altercation. Saheed was said to have rebuked her for poking her nose into a
situation that did not concern her.
At about 5pm on that day, Dasola reportedly led her soldier
boyfriend in company with three other soldiers to Saheed’s residence.The
soldiers did not meet Saheed at home, but they descended on his elder brother,
Lukman, who was on a visit.
The victim said that one of the soldiers believed to be
Dasola’s boyfriend rained blows on his face. He said he was handcuffed to a
motorcycle while one of the soldiers rode the bike and dragged him on the
street. Lukman said the soldiers left him when blood started coming out from
his eyes.
The case was reported at the Igbogbo Police Station and
Dasola had been arrested.
Saheed explained that a week before the incident, he had
taken Dasola to an inn in the community. He said after the date, he gave her
N1,500, but she rejected it, insisting that she would collect N2,500.
Saheed said, “She later collected the N1,500, but tore my
clothes. Afterwards, she would abuse me whenever she saw me. On Saturday,
November 11, my friends fought in our compound and she came. I told her she was
nosy. We abused each other and she left and later came back with the soldiers
to intimidate me.”
The Lagos State Police Public Relations Officer, ASP
Olarinde-Famous Cole, confirmed the assault.
