Army withdraws soldiers from Lagos

Army authorities have,Tuesday, ordered the withdrawal of soldiers deployed last week to Lagos during the oil subsidy removal protest.

Lagosians had woken up last Monday to behold stern looking soldiers in strategic areas of the state, a development sparked up controversies, with the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babatunde Fashola, describing the deployment as undemocratic.
