Army? Are they now traffic officials? The rate at which we are the military is being used under this administration, they will soon be used for tax collection. 123 Likes 4 Shares |

Omeokachie: Whatever needs to be done to avoid loss of life is welcome, the police and traffic officers are being undermined by those truck drivers, it's an everyday experience for private drivers, commuters and pedestrians. 46 Likes 1 Share |

tunjiajayi: No sir, there should be a limit to how we debase our institutions. The job of the military is to defend the territorial integrity of the country, and not menial jobs that infringes on the duty of others. Wonder why professionalism is now non-existent in the military? 92 Likes 9 Shares |

Omeokachie: Bro, all over the world, the military is also the reserve. They can fill in were other authorities are slacking, they can be firefighters, rescuers, minders, medical outreaches and emergency even construction as it requires. They are multi tasked to keep the country running outside defence and attack core military assignments. 61 Likes 4 Shares |

And y should it be the Army that would issue this notice?are there no relevant agencies that should be in charge of things like this?must the army be involved in all facets of our lives or re we operating khakistocracy that warrants the military getting involved in all that we do?,just smh for this country! 18 Likes 3 Shares |

tunjiajayi: Is this task something that is too much for the Police and NSCDC to handle? Have the police forcefully moved these people and were violently repelled? In other climes that you mentioned, the military are only called upon in the event of overwhelming natural disasters like hurricane, earthquakes, tornadoes where the capacity of the emergency services are stretched. Here, we need our military to fight boko haram and herdsmen menace that seems to be getting out of hand, and not to be used for traffic management. 44 Likes 2 Shares |

Omeokachie: Yes , the police have been used, lastma task force also, these people have no iota of respect for constituted authority, if you are in Lagos you should know this, they even face off LASG. So? 15 Likes |

tunjiajayi: Government have not been serious about removing them. What they have so far done is blackmail government with strike and government quickly back off. I have never heard of these drivers VIOLENTLY confronting police. When government is ready to remove them, they will ask the police to go out there and dislodge them. Until then, they should stop this attempt at trying to use the military to INTIMIDATE. Police armed with teargas will achieve this without any issue. 25 Likes |

That is not within the power of the Nigerian Army. We have to follow the law. The military has no affairs with civil law and cannot initiate or enforce laws unless specifically from the President or Minister of Defence. So no, the Army cannot ban trucks on a bridge. The most that can happen is the state government asks the Ministry of Defence to send the Army to help enforce the rules. 4 Likes |
