Four soldiers attached to the Myoung Barracks in the Morocco area of Shomolu, Lagos, are feared dead, and others were injured after a suspected drunk driver rammed into them.

Eyewitness accounts disclosed that the driver rammed into the soldiers during their monthly road jogging outside the barracks in the early hours of Friday.

According to one of the soldiers in the camp, he said, “There’s blood everywhere. I was spared because I was at the back.”

The soldier (name withheld) narrated that the vehicle had three young men suspected to be internet fraudsters, notoriously called ‘Yahoo Boys.’

He added that the vehicle rammed into the soldiers near the Myoung Barracks Army Sports Camp, resulting in one of the occupants of the car fleeing immediately, while the remaining two were apprehended and beaten to a stupor, with their vehicle vandalized.

As of the time of filing this report, the Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 81 Division, Olabisi Ayeni, and the spokesperson of the Lagos State Police Command, Benjamin Hundeyin, were yet to react to the incident.
