Yesterday night on my way to get something to eat at a canteen around my area, close to the code of conduct tribunal in Jabi, i saw many people running here and there and because i dont know whats going on i decided to run too.To cut the story short i was cornered along side many other civilians around 10pm by security operatives ( army in different uniforms, NSCDC, police, NDLEA you name it) both males and femalesheavily armed.They marched us all to where we joined others too. More than 300 of us and made us all sit in the mud. I saw them banging doors open and ordering the occupants to come out in their boxers and wrappers, I wasn't with my credentials so I just kept calm. All I know is if they don't get mad to the extentof firing all of us then they will take us to the station where we all will explain ourselves. I was even thinking they did take pictures of us and parade us in the news as terrorists.Change dole!They did separate us into groups and asked for ID. Those who have provided theirs but my ID is at home not far so I just keep my cool. All this while some people were made to roll in the mud.Then my turn.I made gestures to them that I can't hear. When theykeep screaming and pointing a gun at me from every angle then I scream " I AM A DEAF BUT I CANTALK" and that is a Big Mistake I made because after that statement slaps descended on me from every angle. Hitting me in the ass with gun butt.I am not new to security operatives and how they miabehave mostly during the day so I am not surprised. I tried my best to explain that not all Deaf are mute and that they should move to where there is light so I can lipread them one on one or if any of them can communicate in Sign Language, as I'm saying all that slaps and kicks continue and I was only trying to voice out exactly how best they will communicate with me.Then they told me to go and join the others in the mud for which I totally lost my cool and bluntly refused. The slapping is getting to a point I don't even feel it anymore. They either fire me on the spot and let everyone see it and be the witness when they wouldn't even after pointing their riffle in my groin then I offer my hands and told them to handcuff me and take me to a station and allow me contact my lawyer AND STOP ANY ACT THAT WILLMAKE ME SUE THEM FOR HARASSMENT but they wouldn't, because of all the slaps and and kicks from left and right I couldnt memorise the nametag on their uniform.I'm not easily cowed really. I was born and raised in hell on earth. I'm not afraid of a gun because I know so well that gun don't kill people eccept someone pull the trigger. As a matter of fact if one of them agree to take on me on a one on one basis in mortalcombat I did finish him, I don't know how but with the situation they put me through yesterday night if I'm allowed to fight just one I did mess him up badlybut also I understand they have a job to do.They searched me thoroughly and couldn't find any incrimating thing. They asked me how I afford my phone and to unlock it and i told them they need a search warrant in my name before I can unlock it because the phone is my private property which includes sensitive pictures of me and my girl therefore it's an infringement of our fundamental human right to seize my device or force me to unlock it with no reason or go through my phone, told them to follow me home so I can show them my ID but they wouldn't agree. I asked for an interpreter they wouldn't agree all they do is HARASS, SLAP AND KICK ME (AND OTHERS) AS IFTHEIR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. Told them to write in black and white they wouldn't.Its pathetic that the security operatives in Nigeria would become a dictator because they are carrying gun.Afterall that transpired they eventually allowed me to go around 3am when they don't know what to do with me again i heaved sigh of relief and realized alltheir madness was because their so called Ogas want to drink at a bar around the area....

I came to this conclusion that ;
1. Security operatives in Nigeria don't understand what it means to be a Deaf, Deaf and mute, hard of hearing or an adventitious Deaf. To them once you are a Deaf you are completely Deaf and therefore no sensible sound must come out of your mouth, If you can lipread and then respond properly you are faking the Deafness. I shake my head for Nigeria Security Operatives.We can't continue to condone a culture of sweeping injustice by those funded by our tax money under the carpet.
2. My honesty in voicing out is a mistake. Should have just be voicing nonsense.. therefore it's not every time honesty pay any longer...especially in this country because my being honest with people funded with my money as a tax payer allowed them to harrass me. Not even my dad can slap me at my age lailai.
3. Nigerian security operatives don't know what signlanguage means at all.
4. There is no department or provisions for Nigerian security operatives to process any Deaf in a proper process according to the rule of law.
5. Never to go out again without having my ID on me and to always make sure I hold a torch light at night.... just imagine.
6. There should be a massive psychiatric evaluationon every single gun-wielding-gbana-addict-operative who manage to wear a uniform.
7. The Nigerian Deaf Body need to create some form of awareness for this security operatives on how to handle anyone who happens to be Deaf. Let's assume I was handcuffed with my hand at the back how the hell am I supposed to sign?I am shattered. I feel bad. I mean the things you are subjected to for trying your best to be proud of Nigeria.On the plus side I'm hoping I can one day shoot a small awareness film on this and how to make it easier for the police to arrest and prosecute a Deaf who is against the law......

this story was shared in the Facebook page of the victim by him and i got permission from him to share, it is totally barbaric for a country like nigeria to still treat persons with disabilities in this manner..i just hope this gets to the authorities,his name is Richard Ezekiel the director at magic fingers entertainment production..

My brother pls I'm warning u with both fingers holding my ears, beware of Police, u went too far with those people, you could have been inflicted life injuries, and when they put pictures online about some gang that where caught every body would be shouting up NEPA, am not particularly happy the way they beat u as if u robbed somebody to death despite your special abilities am sorry, speedier recovery .. Jabi is the only place u wud spot security agencies obtaining money from small and medium scale business premises. More security disturbance in jabi than crime itself(quote me). Fela sang about this people some 40years ago and we called him crazy. Now who sti dey craze all this why!!!!!

Tell me more about this, which part of Jabi precisely, and how rampant is this? Haven't encountered anything like this around Jabi Utako axis, even though I'm a chronic night crawler.

I witnessed extortion in shops between Chida hotel and Sandrallia hotels. With constitutional backing.
