"She Did Not Accord Me The Respect I Deserved As A Soldier Sitting In Front Of The Bus"-   Fake Soldier Narrates Why He Beat Up Traffic Policewoman

One Yemi Aiyeni, a passenger who allegedly beats up traffic policewoman at Shibiri bus stop, Ilemba Hausa area of Lagos state has been arrested.

The police spokesperson, SP Bala Elkana  in a statement issued on Friday said that Aiyeni pounced on the policewoman, inspector Martina Onyeacho who arrested the bus for obstructing traffic flow.

The fake soldier was arrested following the viral video of the assault which occurred last Sunday.

According to eyewitness,  Ayeni claimed that the policewoman did not accord him the respect he deserved as a soldier sitting in front of the bus and that she was wrong to have challenged the driver while he was there. He followed up  with physical assault on her, beating her with stick, punching and kicking her.

The police spokesperson said during questioning, the suspect stated that he had been posing as a soldier since he was dismissed from Nigerian Army Depot Zaria in 2002 on mental health grounds after spending four months in training. He added that investigation is ongoing and the suspect will soon be charged.
