the truth is just what you just said, Buh lemme tell you why, Southerners are known to be tough and rebellious, so these soldiers are been drilled before hand what they are going to face. I can tell you cos I have stayed in aba, lesser crimes that shouldn't warrant a punishment elsewhere, you will be drilled wella if they catch u for aba Buh unlike the north where I have been nothing like that exists, people hardly fear the military here. Besides they no born you well as a non-indegiene soldier to start drilling a northerner, before you know it they would give it an ethnic colourization and you would be fighting for your career.

Take this fact from me, even if you have a 1day old trained brother/sister soldier coming from the barracks? just be ready to expect beligerency , hostility and some other unfounded features uncommon to him.
what other reason where they deployed to tension places if not to forcefully endanger and enforce their others.?
But these states are not under any state of emergency, but perceived "rebellious" as you said and can not be contained by Civilmatter related specialist like equiped police/civil defence. but instead Armed illiterate Army? to a certain portions of the country?

The problem is we are combining African culture and western culture. You graduate and you start thinking you're a white man unfortunately you met NIGERIAN soldiers. it's not their fault.

The police have to hand dem over. It's their command that'll set up board of enquiry and if found guilty, dey'll be dealt wit

Was thinking they weren't on a military duty, so they acted as individuals not as agents of the army.

TundeHashim:
you're currently living in the north..I've lived in the north my whole life and I'm still leaving I the north..why do u guys think like this na..why u do u reason like...are those soldiers northerners? did buhari recruit them to kill their people? even if they were indoctrinated to harm their brothers, don't common sense call for constraint? the South, to me is the biggest problem of south...u guys need a re-orientation to think straight...never point accusing fingers on others when your lives ain't moving straight...always remember that!

How Nigerian are you, to me and other like minds here, u lack the abs to say or know what the problem of the south is. you were born and breed only in the North,u dont know how things are in the other sides of the divide. people like me who have been to atleast 6 Northern state n residing currently in Kano state can tell you that this is a clear Modern captivity and organised domicile hostage taking.

shineeye1:


Really wonder whether you are a civilian or an advocate of the brute military! Even one slap from an ill motivated primitive brute of a soldier is enough to warrant the hardest case for brutality against civil society. The Point is this evil trend must be wiped out rather than the level of severity

I agree with u.

chimaobinelson:
See, inccidence like this shouldnt be a suprise anymore in the S.West, S.East and S.South part of Nigeria.
These untamed beast are purposely unleashed on these regions just to assault and rape them to a stand still.
Forgive me for thinking this direction, but as someone living here in the North where Miscreants, unlettered bastard juveniles are okayed to carry dagger and other dangerous weapons in their pockets and waistbags without any form of stationed security patrol vans as easily obtainable in the pseudo-state of emergency Southern state.
this people must be taking our intelligence for a ride!!!

somebody is very awake! time to ring the rousing bell for others!

davidif:


You are ignoring the fundamental fact that soldiers are not meant to be doing the work of a civilian police force.

You are very correct bro.

The main duty of the military is protection of territorial boundaries.

Back in the good old days, it was a rarity to see military men on the streets. The police handled every contact with civilians.

But the reverse is the case now. I think it is as a result of our progressive explosive increase in population over the years. A lot of military recruitments have been done, and the barracks cant contain them anymore.

Since we have now gotten to this stage, preventive measures, such as keeping these hot-blooded new recruits "busy" and preventing their unnecessary contact with civilians, should be put in place to forestall unfortunate incidents like the one featured on this thread

I hate soldiers with passion

The problem is not the illiterate soldiers, rather the problem is the ignorant masses. You see three soldiers beating one man for mistakenly hitting their car from behind and everyone just walk pass. Why would the masses not gather themselves and beat up the soldiers? Can three soldiers kill everyone on the street? Until we begin to fight for ourselves, animals in human skin will continue to think they are next to God.

Ok, let me ask, and I need to be educated on this.

If the police have intelligence report that a military man is involved in money laundry and has these hard currencies in his house/car, do the police hand him over to military intelligence or arrest and prosecute him based on evidence?

Same thing they did to Shiites in Zaria. Indiscipline right from the top. I have never heard of American or British army brutalizing civilians under any circumstance. A serious re-orientation is needed- it only takes a commander-in-chief who is sensitive to such issues. Certainly not this C-in-C. Nigeria might just be a zoo after all- N. Kanu has a point in that.

This is very unprofessional of some of our soldiers .....

doctorkush:
babe,it wasn't funny dat day oo... But who we wan tell??

Eyah, I can imagine. Epele.

We need to apologize to God for what this generation has turned themselves into.

People who never make use of their brains! We are simply blinded by religious and ethnic bigotry. The story says people who just came from 9 months military training. This means that they are most likely from that same community and wreaked havoc on their own people. That tells you what I have always maintained: THE REALITY THAT WE ARE OUR OWN PROBLEM. Someone reads this and starts blaming Buhari and the north! Bunch of certified illiterates everywhere. Spits!

Hand him over to military police... dahris all

@Cutedharmee

But military police are strictly for military matters, concerning military breach. For instance, the soldiers who absconded during the boko haram crisis or those who committed mutiny, etc will be dealt with if need be by the military police. As the Nigeria police have no statutorily power over such matters.

When a soldier unofficially commits a civil crime, the police takes him completely. That's how it is all over the World.

The frequent clash between the army and police have overwhelmed the law and the police mandate to investigate and arrest ALL.

Lolz, they handed the military man first to military authorities because he impersonated a military rank other than his. That's a military offence.

Extortion is a crime against Nigeria which no military law specifically contain or deals with..

Mind you, the military has been on an age-long intimidation of the police by forcefully breaking in and releasing their military members when arrested.

As you wish, bro. It has been well published in the media of members of the military forcefully releasing their members from police detention.
