Four soldiers attached to the Myoung Barracks in the Morocco area of Shomolu in Lagos are feared dead, and others were injured after a suspected drunk driver reportedly rammed into them during their monthly road jogging outside the barracks in the early hours of Friday.
An eyewitness named Priscilla, who lives in the area, said the Toyota vehicle had three young men as the occupants, running at full speed before ramming into the soldiers.

She said, “The incident happened in the early hours of this morning when the soldiers were doing their monthly morning road walk when the young men rammed into the soldiers in front of the barracks.
“The incident has caused panic among the residents in the area.”
