A commercial driver, Bolaji Sunday, has been hospitalised after two yet-to-be-identified soldiers allegedly shot him for parking his vehicle at the front of the Oriental Transport Company around Magboro Bus Stop, in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.
PUNCH Metro gathered that Sunday left his residence and drove to the location to meet someone who wanted to connect him with a customer.
When he got to the front of the company reportedly guarded by soldiers, Sunday parked his vehicle.
The driver was said to be on his way to meet the person that wanted to connect him with his customer when the leader of the soldiers challenged him for parking at the spot.
As Sunday was trying to give an explanation, our correspondent gathered that the two soldiers demanded the key to his vehicle and ordered him to sit in a gutter.
Upon realising that the driver was still explaining his reason at the location rather than complying with the order, the soldiers descended on Sunday and shot two tyres of his vehicle.
In a desperate attempt to protect his life, the driver, while writhing in pain on a sickbed at the Real Divine Hospital in the Ibafo area of the Obafemi Owode LGA, told our correspondent that he started running, adding that one of the soldiers allegedly shot him at the back.
