The Nigerian Army has arrested a Lance Corporal allegedly involved in an assault on two traffic wardens in Oyo State.

A video, which has since gone viral, shows the Lance Corporal and one of his colleagues assaulting the traffic wardens at Adeoye Road by Ring Road, Ibadan in Oyo state on Friday, January 7.

In a statement released by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu, the Nigerian Army says it is working with the state police command to fish out and arrest others who participated in the assault.

The Army said the conduct of the individuals seen in a video was against the ethos of the Nigerian Army.
