WHITE MAN ORDERS SOLDIERS TO BEAT UP A NIGERIAN OVER ELECTRICITY BILL IN EDO STATE:

Are we being re-colonialized? Osinbajo, Buratai Please answer Nigerians.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Earlier today, a white man working with the Benin Electricity Distribution Company (BEDC) orders Military personnel attached to him to beat up one Mr. Innocent Okpara over resistance of the electricity company officials to take his expensive wires after disconnection for non payment of electricity bills.
This happened behind Santana Market, Sapele Road, Benin City in the presence of the Business Manager, a Nigerian in charge of the business unit that covers the area. The man has been disconnected for owing the company an amount he said could not be justified, his argument was that, he bought the wires with his money and that it does not belong to the private company hence, he was not going to allow them to take away the expensive wires.

Similar reports have reached the human rights community of the activities in the past of same white men who go about with military personnel to harass, intimidate, humiliate, brutalize and in some cases threaten to shoot citizens of the Federal Republic of Nigeria over electricity issues. Such case was that of one Mr. Owas Evbuomwan about a month ago in Oluku-Iguosa axis who was threatened by military personnel attached to another white man working with BEDC to shoot if he dares question the authority of a white man in threatening a Nigerian like him. It should be noted that there are three of them working with BEDC and they all exhibit the habit of creating fear and tension in the minds of Nigerians thereby making Nigerians look like cowards in their own land.

Reports have been passed to the 4 Mechanized Brigade, Benin City severally on the activities of soldiers who molest and assault citizens and no action have been demonstrated to show there is still value for human rights even in a democratic dispensation like ours. A lot of such incidences are archived with pictorial evidences and victims are readily available to testify of military brutalization and assault on their persons without direct provocation that warrants same.

It is important for Nigerians to still know if our leaders have finally handed over the life and destiny to foreigners or this is another round of colonial rule using our military to achieve.

The Edo Civil Society Organisations will stop at nothing to mobilize all other Nigerians to resist any form of colonial tendencies even if our leaders are docile and non chalant about it. We cannot tolerate it, because Nigerians in the Diaspora cannot try what these white men are daring here.

To this end, we are demanding a full scale investigation into the activities of these white men working with BEDC to the extent that whether they possess such rights in line with our constitution to command our military personnel to unleash terror on citizens. We cannot be slaves in our own land because these white men are here to elk a living for themselves and another round of colonial tendencies we shall resist even with the last drop of our blood. The most stupid Nigerian at least deserves some respects from a foreigner in his land.

We own the Land.

INNOCENT OKPARA DEMANDS JUSTICE FROM THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT, THE HUMILIATION ON HIM BY A FOREIGNER IS TOO MUCH.
WILL THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT ACT?

Guy too like defense

of recent i begin to realize i don't have anything meaningful to contribute to some issues.

Hmm

We still slaves in our own country ...I cry for Nigeria

And the soldier will think doing this will make him worthy of promotion? ?

Nigerian security operatives are as useless as our Currency Coins. You just see it and spit on.

hian

This white may turn out to be Chinese or Lebanese.

It will most likely be Indian as they have probably the largest pool of English speaking expatriates in the world.

If its Indian state so. Its wrong to call an Indian a white man.

watin concern me?

You may not realize it yet, but know that our government has sold us out and devalue this nation among its peers

thats the message

Ur obviously a nepa official to hav commented with such stupidity. U think having common sense is by writing it in block letters? Mtcheeeew, Dumb Asshole...

Nepa can't cut your wire unless you are a chronic debtor

They just disconnect it but will not take your wire

hand touch am

The man is right. You can disconnect my power supply from your distribution but shouldn't touch my property.
Anyway Wole Soyinka wrote a book and called it "And the man died"

Simple question: Would the reaction be any different if it was a Nigerian that ordered the assault? The debtor still has the impetus to challenge them from taking his wires not knowing it is part of standard operation to serve as a deterrence to serial debtors but ultimately this is still the fault of the government and the Electricity companies. Where are all the prepaid meters?

Lol

So your common sense tells you that it's lawful for BEDC to carry the guy's electrical cables after disconnection? Isokay!

White man will oppress you in his country and still come and oppress you even more in your own country with the help of your own people. Which God or gods did the black man offend self that he or they decided to play a cruel joke with the black man's life

Stubborn people will always default and will be the first rush to social media to beg for our sympathy.

you no pay for light dem cease your cable, you refuse to let the go with it (I am still trying to imagine how expensive your service wire could be which I know even recline cables are cheep)

wait first, how did you resist them from taking your cable.... oh I guess you use force, and when that same force was use on you... you start shouting..
