A policeman threatened to shoot at two soldiers of the Nigerian Army yesterday after they severely battered a middle-aged man to coma along the popular NEPA Roundabout in Kaduna metropolis.
According to eyewitness report, the soldiers who were driving in a private car, with a Lagos State vehicle plate number BZ288 KTU, came down from their car and beat up the civilian for allegedly driving wrongly.
One Malam Garba, who was at the scene, told journalist that “the civilian was just riding his motorcycle when the soldiers stopped their car in the middle of the road, went straight to the man and started beating him. They accused the man of wrong riding.”
The civilian who was riding on a motorcycle was beaten into a pulp by the soldiers and this attracted a number of onlookers.
The soldiers were said to have tried driving away, leaving the man severely battered but a police officer who had witnessed the incident, stopped them.
After the assault, the soldiers were said to have tried to drive away but were stopped by a police officer who had witnessed the severe beating.
It was gathered that the policeman threatened to fire his rifle at the soldiers if they tried to move.
This further attracted the attention of other security agents who came to the aid of the motorcyclist.
The quick intervention of soldiers from the 1 Division of the Nigeria Army brought the situation under control. The soldiers later took the assault victim to the 44 Army Reference Hospital for medical attention.

I thought the silly soldiers were supposed to protect our defenseless civilians....
They should save the beating for the boko peeps and let us be...

Is there any good that may yet come from the NPF?

Uniformed Beasts!!!

All dis Naija Uniformed Men I do wonder wah kinda training dey gave them that makes them so mean!...

a good one the police should be celebrated

Goat don challenge Lion.

NPF saves the day. nice one.

Let's see what follows

Check that police very well, he was already drunk before the incident hence, the strange confidence. As for the soldiers, they behave like gods. And in a country where the law is not respected, you should expect high level of impunity.

Odikwa! Very risky!

Wish all these police can be brave like this man.

slim fit :
Wish all these police can be brave like this man.

4 ur mind. Dey can only b brave wen dey meet innocent nigerian civilians. Ehen.... Datz wen dey claim 2 b heroes. Men-in-black... Criminals!

Hehehehe. Naija soldiers are now afraid of common policeman just beecause of fear for the unknown. If not for that fear, the case of that policeman by now will be among the stories that touch. But come oo, the gallant soldiers of Cameroun, how many times have we heard of them bullying civilians When will all those silly aboki zombies in Naija military stop bringing shame to Naija

hardywaltz: i hate all uniformed men, be it police, army, navy or civil defense.

me too. Boys scout, man o war, bank and fast food security, anyting on uniform

Courageous.....refreshingly different from the normal picture painted of a Nigeria police officer.

Some of these un educated military boys are worse than animals.

It is obvious the nigerian army does not know their jobs or it's limit. The police is incharge of maintaining law and order on the streets, the military is to protect the country for externl aggression. This nonesense has gone on for a long time and the service chieds are doing nothing about same with the so called "commander in chief"....this feeling of superiority abouve all other by the army must not exist in a democratic nation.

gbanikiti: Between police and army, who is now my friend?

None

This reminds me of a day I saw a policewoman(not dat NL own) helping a blind man cross road in Jos, I was like "holy Moses!" so police could do this?

Like I always say, the ONLY thing Nigerian soldiers know how to do is to brutalise and oppress defenceless civilians. That's why I feel no pity for them when they are slaughtered like chickens by rag-tag militias like Boko Haram and the rest.

I dare to say this is wrong information.. Police what!

Jokes apart that officer is one in a thousand.

They are also human beings now, haba!

A policeman without a uniform is like everyone on the street.
