The drivers abandoned their buses as angry soldiers began setting the buses on fire. Not less than four buses have been burnt down. It was gathered that journalists who attempted to take photos was severely beaten by the soldiers who belonged to an outfit called “OP MESA” and had to be rushed to the hospital. Some other pedestrians who were making calls with their phones or even just holding the phone in sight were slapped and kicked and their phones seized or damaged. Another eye witness says, at least 80 soldiers were on the road between Onipanu and Palmgrove and pedestrians were required to raise their two hands as they passed to avoid beating by the soldiers.
