The armed personnel came pretending to maintain peace and order, but they soon abandoned their primary responsibility and started buying fuel in drums.
They shoved, maltreated and chased off those who were on queue to tend to themselves.
The military officials who were fully dressed had taken over the only two pumps that dispensed the Premium Motor Spirit.
There was an unregistered white Isuzu truck the soldiers had been using for the ‘deal’ and this truck had visited the filling station for the fourth time and each time bought fuel.
The fourth truck was loaded at 8:50pm on Monday night.
The vehicle, on each visit, left with at least 14 drums and dozens of gallons filled with fuel.
Helpless consumers, some of who slept at the filling station, suspected the soldiers were buying fuel to sell to sell in Lagos black market.
Those who complained about what was going on were severely beaten
By 9pm on Monday, not more than a hundred cars left the station with fuel.

Smh.... they are always fund of that! Hungry mofos!
Y r they doing such now,am dissappointed
I stayed away from there cos I knew this was bound to happen. Soldiers have been parading fuel stations beating people and creating chaos. At the same time buying fuel. Are they above the law?
I really don't know when the Nigerian army will come to the understanding that we're no longer in the military regime, this is democracy and they should respect rule of law.
Your comment will be visible after approval
This thing is now political.

Soldiers and wrong use of power
Soldiers and wrong use of power
See wickedness! Nigerians! Too bad
They are notorious for bullying their way to whatever they want, and to think they were meant to maintain law and order.
~BONARIO~says so via NOKIA LUMIA
The scarcity is really biting on everyone
The military has sooo much power, the way they opress citizens and take laws into their hands is pathetic,degrading to their force! Embarrassing!
I don't feel for soldiers when they are killed or dealt with, the forces we have in this country are actually thieves, even police officers
Can you imagine...I shake my head for this country...Very sad
Those who are paid to maintain peace and order end up being the lawless ones. Very soon all these yeye officers will meet their waterloo. Nonsense
Awww,nawa ohh... y are dey so brutal bcos dey av an edge ova us.. civilians
That's so sad. It takes a situation like this one to dhow that given the right motivation, anyone can be a terrorist. Intimidating people just because you carry a gun.
Can u imagine
Nah wa for this country o
Absolute Impunity #SMH

This is an example of why we can't move forward. Lindaobserve
I don't know why the government gave the military such power to intimidate people anyhow, they don't value human rights at all.

THEY WILL DIE BY THE SAME MEANS THEY HAVE UNFAIRLY USED ON OTHERS, AMEN. THEY WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE IN THEIR LIVES, AMEN. THEY SHALL HAVE CONSTIPATION, JAUNDICE, PILE, AND ATHLETES FOOT SIMULTENEOUSLY, AMEN, AMEN, AMEN.
It would be better if they sell to the black marketers. What if they are supplying militants? No one knows what's happening in this country anymore. Hod help us.

Exactly wat happened in d station I went to buy fuel. Some police men came in, chased and scared everybody away from the station. They even ordered some cars to drive out without buying fuel so dat they can bring in their vehicle in from the exit. They came in, threw all the gallons away, flogged some people. They even flogged an old man enough to father them. Finished buying their fuel (loads of drums). They never assisted in anyway to help things out. After which they left and immediately, the station closed. People who came since morning were unable to buy. Even after paying #200 for each gallon. This country is in a big mess.
dis is hillarious ,asin dis is nothing to write home about Nigeria is something else GOD HELP OOOOOO
Thank God I didn't wait o!
OKORO UPGRADED
dis is somtin else oooo
Oppression everywhere
No evidence of this assertion from this picture Linda. We can still see civilian population going abt their biz freely.
This is 1 of the reasons 9ja has failed to progress-greed and selfishness. I pray all these officials who misuse d power given to them will be done away with in d coming administration
MILITARY ERA DOT COM.....WE ARE WAITING...THIS IS NIGERIA IN THE 80S AND 90S...
And we are in a democratic regime .......
**Society has placed a benchmark on the appropriate age for singles to get married. Especially women. You have young girls of 24/25 panicking about marriage . There is no place it is carved on stone that you have to get married by a certain age. There are no fixed set of rules to dating, courtship and marriage. And I don't think there should ever be. The only rule I would endorse is get out if domestic violence is involved.......click my name to read more
