I'm still in shock over what happened to me today.
I'm a youth corper serving in Ado Ekiti. On my way to the office Ado Ekiti this morning, I observed that the Fajuyi park area of the town was blocked by security operatives and motorcycles were not being allowed to ride through. I was puzzled as to what was going on, as I just got back to the state from my hometown d night before. Anyway I proceeded to my office. About two hours later, I heard some singing and noise from outside. As l was kind of bored, I decided to go and observe. On getting to the outside of my office complex, I saw a large crowd of people singing and walking on the main road. I realised they were protesting. But since there were no sign of violence, I presumed, albeit wrongly, that it was a peaceful protest. Therefore, and in order to test the picture quality of the phone I just bought, I decided to take pictures. That was a very grave mistake, I now realise. Immediately, a man saw me taking the pictures, he descended on me. The crowd followed suit and before I could mention Jesus, I started receiving blows and slaps from everywhere. The shirt and inner shirt I was wearing was torn out of my body. After the security men managed to restrain d crowd, I was told to delete d pictures, which I did. The crowd was not still satisfied and insisted that I give my phone to them, so they could smash it. I refused. Another round of beating then commenced, this time more viciously. I was pushed to the ground and they were all raining blows and slaps on my body. I managed to extricate myself from the melee and ran for my dear life. Some tried chasing me, but I was quicker. I then went to hide in a part of d complex. After about 5 minutes, a vicious looking guy came to meet me where I was hiding and said I should give him my phone, else he finishes me off there and then. He said he has been instructed by the powers that be to either smash my phone or finish me off. Or in the alternative, he will take me to d crowd waiting fr me outside so they can deal with me in their own way. I started begging him and told him I was just a youth corper and I was neither a politician or from Ado Ekiti. After showing him my NYSC I.d. card and giving him the last 500 naira in my wallet, which he requested for, as bribe, he let me go and instructed me to go and hide as best as I could. I was later transported outside the premises by a good Samaritan, before I found my way home.
Though I'm an ardent follower of political happenings in the country, I have never been a fanatic, and I never expected this type of behaviour from rational human beings. Mehn, these guys where filled with anger, and they could kill without hesitation. Politics should not be a do or die affair. It is high time we jettison this culture of barbarism and embrace peace and dialogue. Anyway, I'm thankful to God, that it didn't get worse than it did. Though I'm feeling pains all over my body, I'll survive and at least I still have my phone.

sorry for the beatings embarassed.. i can only imagine.. but seriously, the way naija dey go now, na to dey carry small pen knife follow bodi ooo. kus na mad and evil men full naija nowadays.. any small tin, na lynching.. so barbaric angry

Yes of course we are in a free society so why are you complaining when they acted freely with you?
Re: How I Was Almost Mobbed Today In Ado Ekiti by Afroconnect: 9:46pm On Apr 07, 2015
Its a pity Nigerians here are not condemning the assault and beating on the innocent Nigerian but are rather blaming him for excercising a right.

Or have you all accepted to be slaves in your own country?

For those of you thinking I made this up, you can confirm yourselves. The incident occurred at the High Court premises at fajuyi park this afternoon. What do I stand to gain by spawning lies. And I never knew that it was a crime for one to take pictures with his phone. Anyway, I don't blame any of you, if you were to be suffering the pains I'm presently suffering, you will not be here spitting gibberish. I have learnt my lessons.. that Nigerians are one set of barbaric people.

As i took out my phone , one guy with a long stick just came to me and said "guy wetin dey sup, u dey video us... bring that phone... Before i knew 2 other boys surrounded me.. i was like "omo see gobe" I just said in a shaky voice "bros no vex see, i don delete am" They warned me never to record or take pics during a protest!

young man I have three pieces of advice for you. 1. NEVER EVER VALUE YOUR PHONE OR ANY OF YOUR PROPERTY OVER YOUR LIFE. 2. ANY TIME YOU SEE A POLITICAL PROTEST, RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN. 3. GO AND DO THANKSGIVING IN YOUR CHURCH ON SUNDAY. ( the first two advice aren't necessary)

you for ask me first before you try to take pictures. Mine was after the June 20 election precisely on 21st of June last year. I saw such a peaceful rally of my favorite political party so I excitedly want to snap them from where I was standing and watching only for these two guy that I will defeat individually in a fight walk to me and ask to see my phone, I said why?, [size=14pt] while asking one guy why the other deliver these leather coated slap on my left cheek, as I was preparing to protest the slap the other one struck too, my head grow big immediately and all I could hear was whistling from the cloud.[/size] My colleague from inside start screaming "run inside, he's a corper o" my brother, even the video delete automatically and one person remind me that didn't I know that am standing in front of an opposition house. That double slap still hurt my brain till date and I have not even forget the size of the first palm the braced my face. Don't play with your phone in Ekiti street when they gather o. They don't understand much civility there. But I love their ways sha, Hard luck men, I have been there too.
