There has been tension in the Giri community since when a soldier allegedly shot and wounded a resident of the area, identified as Danjuma Joshua, while another person, Manga Lukman Barde, was also stabbed by the same soldier, last Friday.

An witness said the incident happened around 1:42p.m. when two soldiers, in mufti had misunderstanding with a driver of a Nissan pick-up van with registration number XA 339 NAS, who was carrying timber.

The witness said the driver, identified as Idris Musa, was driving into the village while the two soldiers were walking by the side of the road.

“The driver decided to stop after he got close to the soldiers because there were two vehicles parked by the road side, narrowing the road,” the witness said.

“But when one of the soldiers turned back and saw the driver stopped, he asked the driver why he stopped close to them,” he said.

The witness said the driver decided to make a phone call which angered the two soldiers who also placed a call to their men at the nearby Army base in the area and the soldiers came in their large number to the area, inside a Toyota Hilux van.

He alleged that the soldiers started shooting sporadically and Joshua was hit by a bullet.

He further alleged that it was when Barde, who was the driver of the incumbent chairman of Gwagwalada Area Council, Alhaji Abubakar Jibrin Giri, tried to broker peace between the pick-up van diver and the soldiers that he was allegedly stabbed.

When our reporter visited Joshua at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital at Gwagwalada, where he was receiving treatment on Friday, he said he was hit by the soldiers’ stray bullets when he was trying to find out what was happening.

The chairman’s driver, who was admitted at a private clinic in Gwagwalada, could not speak with our reporter as he was still unconscious.

Reacting to the incident, the chairman of the council said he was not at home when the incident happened but one of his security men called to inform him about the incident.

The chairman called on the security authorities to fish out those behind the incident.

He cautioned residents, especially youth, not to take laws into their own hands. When contacted, the Gwagwalada Divisional Police Officer (DPO), ASP Rabiu Mohammed, confirmed the incident, even though he said the matter is before the military authorities.

He said: “When the incident happened, I called and informed the military authorities and I believe that they are already doing something about the incident. The FCT police commissioner was also informed about the incident. “

Back to millitary era?

ZOO

fulaniHERDSman:

Back to millitary era?

Not funny bro

Unknown Soldiers have been shooting civilians since

BABA FELA was alive.

Another one happened in Lagos today

We get unknown police
We get unknown soldier
We get unknown civilian

All is equal to unknown government

Military Regime

if nah boko haram the soldiers heard now..... they would have picked race..


those guys are just a menace to the society

I can't blame the soldiers. An average military man identifies with Buhari, they see him more as a military man, than a democrat. He remains a GENERAL, and his men will do anything and get away with it.

Reason is not farfetched as his supporters equally see him more as a tyrant who should break the law at any time to see that their perceived enemy is killed, and buried.

The same demonic and despotic perception characterizes the morale of the current Fulani terrorists.

Whatever we get from now till 2019 is just the result of the seed the "95 per centers" sowed with their voter cards.

“The driver decided to stop after he got close to the soldiers because there were two vehicles parked by the road side, narrowing the road,” the witness said.

Nothing is wrong with this ,

“But when one of the soldiers turned back and saw the driver stopped, he asked the driver why he stopped close to them,” he said.

According to the 2nd paragraph,

witness said the incident happened around 1:42p.m. when two soldiers, in mufti

, pls for Godsake, the fact that you are soldier, doesn't you are a god & warrant you challenging civilians anyhow

T[b]he witness said the [i]driver decided to make a phone call which angered the two soldiers [/i]who also placed a call to their men at the nearby Army base in the area and the soldiers came in their large number to the area[/b], inside a Toyota Hilux van.

Imagine you were in mufti, going on you own and a vehicle parked behind you on his own as well to get better passage and make a call, why would you bother about whoever the driver is calling if you hands are clean?, why not just go on your own?


Serious our soldiers atimes behave like animal

It's unfair

Us that the reward for hailing them? They should go and face herdsmen. Shior

could they just got stabbed or shot at like dat? God bless Nigerian Army.

Fu<k Nigeria Army

this story get K leg abeg.

GOD, why so many bad news?

Thsis soldier should be showed the way to Sambisa.

I still maintain Nigeria must be sanction economically to stop this human rights abuse by the authorities. I guess you have to live in the system to comprehend how people can be so comfortable with these abuses, which also includes failed promises by politicians, corruption, darkness, bad roads, no jobs/hard jobs with little pay etc.
I bet this one too will soon be swept under the carpet.What a country

if they see Fulani herdsmen walking about with loaded AK-47s now they will clear road but they can flex muscles for "bloody" civilians shey

Naija is a country of misplaced priorities SMFH

Errrmmmm,what am I suppose 2 say#mtchew

Shame that instead of defending the borders, this pple terrorize the civilians. Bad leadership.

hmmmm..

.

Soldier go, soldier come, soldier do wetin you want but don't fall in love with me

i repeat, the respect we are giving some of these illiterate nuisance is too much. Very soon Nigerians will need to start buying ammos to fight these solnjass.

After shooting a lawyer in a recent news, then this again....

I blame the driver for that-

Hmmm
I wouldn't say I don't believe the story but it's really hard to believe.
Soldier: o boy why you stop for my back so?
Driver: *put cell phone by his ear without reply*
Soldier: *put his own phone by his ear too without further comments*

<everything stands @ attention>
