A soldier who tried to scare away officers of the Lagos State Traffic Management Agency, LASTMA, for attempting to tow a military truck has misfired, killing a police officer in the area in the process, Vanguard reports.
The incident, which occured between Idiroko and Anthony Bus-Stop, Lagos, left eyewitnesses running for cover.
It was gathered that the soldier was detailed to convey the white and yellow military truck belonging to the Nigerian Army, to Kaduna.
On his way, the truck broke down at Idiroko bus stop, and he decided to sleep inside till dawn.
Some LASTMA officials decided to tow it to their office.
However, trouble started when the officials knocked at the driver’s side.
Immediately, the soldier was said to have got down from the truck with his rifle and started shooting indiscriminately into the air and at the LASTMA officials.
It remains unclear what he was dreaming about that led him to react like that. What is clear is that his poor decision making has led to the death of a police officer.

OMG!!! Justin Bieber posts his nacked pix on IG unknowingly

Justin Bieber delighted his Beliebers on Monday when he shared a naked photo on his Instagram account. The cheeky 21-year-old bared his bottom as he stood with his back to the camera on the edge of a boat. 'Look!' he captioned the snapshot, which showed him pointing at the land ahead, although it's fair to say none of his fans will have been admiring the scenery. Justin is currently in Bora Bora, and it's not clear who he is travelling with. The singer is clearly feeling quite relaxed, and stared across the stunning blue sea for his raunchy naked photo. Justin revealing pic caught the attention of one fan in particular - Miley Cyrus - who reposted the image, although she put her own creative crop on what she believed to be the most interesting part of the picture.
