Nigeria: Enraged Soldiers Riot in Lagos
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/07/05/world/africa/nigeria-enraged-soldiers-riot-in-lagos.html Version 0 of 1. Nigerian soldiers blocked roads, fired shots into the air and burned several buses in Lagos on Friday after a fellow soldier was killed in a bus accident, officials said. The soldiers were reacting to the death of a comrade who was hit by a bus while riding a motorcycle, said Femi Oke-Osanyintolu, director general of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency. Nigerian bus drivers have a reputation for reckless driving, but it was not clear who was at fault in the accident. |
