@OP, you hAve only told a partial truth about the situation in Agbor. You and I know that AGBOR was fast becoming amenace and a security treat to its inhabitants because of the rascally behaviour of your boys going by different street cults as well as the incidence of kidnapping that once peaked just about when ifeanyi Okowa's dad was a victim. The coming of the military was not construeded out of mischief buy to salvage a deteriorating situation. But we must however, rise yo say no to exploitation and abuse of powers if the military are misusing such privilege buy at the same time we must ensure that our people are doing the right thing.

If the solders will not listen to elders as someone just posted does the elders not know how to deal with those solldiers in the traditional way they should make some few ones go unclad eating shit what is all these blackberies you go about meant for ? do some photo snapping /video recording s of those zombies when on those dehumanising activities . Just wacthout for informants . Come around to report to elders here and sooner ater they will go away on their own when some few ones has gone into forests .

omoredia:

are you people not criminals for not exposing kidnappers? why complain when the army is doing their job? so u want army to dey smile or they greet you before him search your house? fools
For you to accused everyone as criminals shows how low your mentality is, even in borno, yobe and adamawa, there are innocent persons living there. How many criminals have you exposed in your household? 50% of those caught confessed that they are not even from the town. Stop the insults.
Thanks mods.

Instead of the stealing governor to face and tackle the security challenges in the state, he chose the easy option of using the military to provide security.... The armed forces are trained to kill and maim people, not to offer security....

Uduaghan is the poison ibori planted in delta state house... He is the cause of all this trouble...in Sapele, the army shot a young boy in the head and accused him of being a kidnapper.. They also help the so called elite to oppress poor people and take their land....

I smell a Revolt brewing!!!! Uduaghan and his cohorts cannot opress us any more..

I hope ibori hangs himself whereever he is...... Thieves

This is hardly news. Anyone that knows Agbor knows as well that the police and the military infringe a lot on the fundamental human rights and dignity of the residents. This is not helped at all by the prevalence of a violent and law breaking attitude among the youths many of whom belong to street gangs. This however does not excuse the indiscipline of the security forces and their tendency to exceed the bounds of their assigned responsibility, something which is common with Nigerians. Nigerians' inability to place dignity of self above every other consideration has far-reaching consequences.

My bros,anywhere Nigeria military is deployed is in a state of war and the residents have murdered sleep and they will sleep no more.Delta state if not all of the nija delta is a different place entirely.before the coming of the military we know how this place is(i stay and work in Warri)Bank robbery almost on a daily basis,kidnapping etc.I can tell you how many times we have encountered armed robbers along the warri benin road,especially in mosuggar(forgot the spelling) but all of these reduced,even now despite their presence there is hardly a day without kidnapping in warri,now tell me what will happen if they are not there.As per the okada riders and their being maltreated,i will tell you that those guys(i mean bike riders)are one of the most stubborn people i have ever encountered.simple traffic law is alien to them,you see the way soldiers punish them every day from airport road to jakpa to refinery road to uti. etc so if is because of them that soldiers should go.i want you to settle down and do a bit of research on these people,you will come to the conclusion that they need more punishment.my advice is let the people change their way then the military can leave delta state.if not if those soldiers leave delta today problem "go dey o"

@op, nani?

The street where i live is very close to the soldiers lodge and i can tell you that the op is very correct.
Honestly, the solidiers have done well in reducing the kidnapping and robbery rate in my town but they have over done it as is their way of live. It has gotten to the stage that any one who passes in front of their lodge stands the risk of being asked to cut the grasses in front of their lodge or inside the compound.

The okadas suffer the most as their bikes are constantly seized mostly for the fun of it.

The latest craze with thy soldiers now that they prepare for patrol and the next thing, they cause a roadblock in certain junction (i witnessed the one at Doherty by Lagos Asaba road junction and also another one along Lagos Asaba road on a different day) and they will ask every okada to discharge their passengers and roll their bike to a certain distance before the bike man can continue his journey with his passenger.

A woman once went to complain to them about her son's behaviour. She wanted them to correct him sort of cos he stole petty petty thing at home.
Well, she took the boy there alive but when she went to pick him in the evening (after the supposed correction), she was given his corpse. The reason they gave for killing him is because he is a potential armed robber. JUST LIKE THAT!!!

I could go on and on. All we wish i for them to tone down their oppression.


Oh and FYI, the period they were hired for was during the Okowa' fathers kidnap. Since he was released, the local Government has stopped paying the rent of the duplex that was rented for them but they refuse to leave. The owner of the duplex has complained but nothing has been done about it.
Talk about oppression of the highest order.

McLuhan: Instead of terrorising Boko Haram militants, they are terrorising innocent civilians. Rubbish! It is only in Nigeria that soldiers leave their barracks and roam the streets with horsewhips, expecting motorists to clear the streets so they can drive around unhindered and daring anyone to utter a word in protest. Against the acceptable practice all over the world, Nigerian soldiers even arrest and detain civilians! They make a habit of preying on policemen, fighting them at every opportunity and killing them at the slightest provocation. They frequently clash with members of the other armed forces as well, as if they are enemy combatants at the warfront. Except government calls these errant soldiers to order, [b]our society will became [/b]more and more lawless.


trust me bro, if i were a soldier i would personally flog you for the bolded. undecided

I also noticed how they go to different shops, drink and eat whatever they like without paying a dime. The owners of those shops can't say or do anything. You need to see the accident they caused very close to the stadium last nite. I pray and hope that they boy involved can walk again.

@OP, in as much as i feel your pain, am of the view that the soldiers should remain in Agbor and Boji Boji. You will agree with me that the level of cultism was increasing in the town. I could remember an Okada man threatening to shoot me i try blocking him again while driving. I was baffled. Is my wish that they persist to sanitize the town a little.

This is pitiable but it's the fact. The Nigerian military men do oppress citizens in Delta State. There's also a same like case in Sapele, Delta State where military men oppress, humiliate, bully and punish youths because of what they put on or wore. This has got me wondering if there's no human right supporting a Nigerian citizen to put on whatever they wanna put on. I pray that the military men in Nigeria would be used only for their true purpose because they've over stepped their limits for too long. We ain't in a military regime. So this got to stop.

Re: Soldiers Are Terrorising Citizens In Agbor, Delta State. by Nobody: 9:55am On Nov 15, 2013
well i once asked a soldier friend why they behave as they do towards civilians and his answer was that soldiers usually get angry when they have to do the work of the police. now as lame as that answer is, it contains some element of truth. soldiers are trained to be aggressive. they are trained to kill and hurt other human beings as efficiently as possible this is why when the security situation gets really bad they are the ones called in and for that same reason do not also expect that they would be the nicest people on earth. so who is to blame? clearly the federal government who seem to daftt to realize that if you need soldiers to perform the work of the police it is either you should give the police better and more soldier like training or give the soldiers police training as well. soldiers are not meant to be deployed internally barring a state of emergency!

My uncle was kidnapped on Saturday and was just released this morning as I speak. the owner of camelite paint (A.j.Nmoye) was also kidnapped last week and I don't know if he has been released or not.
