Lagos Govt Workers Battered By Naval Officers
Workers of the Lagos State Public Works Corporation, have appealed to Governor Babatunde Fashola to save them from attacks by uniform men while mending Lagos roads.
The appeal is coming on the heels of battering received by nine workers of the corporation in the hands of officers at the naval base, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, on Wednesday.
Corporation workers were brutalised by the naval officers around 11 p.m. while repairing a damaged portion of the Ahmadu Bello Way in front of the naval base.
Two of the workers, Abhuohlen Daniel and Babatunde Olamide who were seriously wounded, were rushed to the hospital, it was learnt.
Investigations revealed that the workers were about to pour asphalt on the damaged portion of the road when a naval officer on guard at the base stopped them and ordered them to move their vehicle away from the gate of the naval base.
Pleas by the workers to the naval officer to allow them do their job fell on deaf ears as the officer and some of his colleagues insisted that the vehicle must be removed from the gate of their base.
An argument ensued and the naval officers attacked the workers. Some of the Corporation workers were dragged into the naval base and brutalised.
One of the injured Corporation workers, Abhuohlen Daniel, said he was kicked and his clothes removed while he was hit with the butt of the gun when he was dragged into the base.
