This video captures a moment in Nigeria's history when extra judicial killings and military indiscipline was not tolerated. In the video, you will witness the public Execution of two Nigerian soldiers who had murdered 4 civilians in cold blood.

Out of the 4 civilians, 2 worked for Barclays bank, 1 was a prison warder, while another was a police inspector.

According to a sourced journal, Both men were shot separately with a three-minute interval. They had been tied to two pillars in front of 24 sand-filled oil drums.

The new Nigerian Army Chief of Staff at the time was, Brigadier Hassan Katsina and he disclosed that the executions were intended to serve as a deterrent to troops.

A lot of Nigerians who went to watch the execution fainted at the sight of it.

This is terrible. So many people would have become psychotic from this experience of watching human lives taken so cheaply. This should be done in a private manner.

If this should happen now, and accidentally the erring soldiers to be Yorubas or Igbos, FFK and Nnamdi Kanu would resort to spewing all manners of disparaging remarks about the North-dominated army.

Why are they fainting?

Those people that fainted then are the ones spoiling Nigeria now.

They fainted because they don't like justice.

The Nigerian military era was a no-nonsense and unforgiven one...Public execution by firing was a norm..though a very gruesome and terrible sight to behold but then u were forced to sit up , do ur job and serve the public...sometimes I wish it is still done today, Nigeria would perhaps be a better place for you and I. Every politician, public administrator or government official would 've been upright.
