Dem dn start to dey harass innocent civilians shebi. But everday boko boys dey butcher dem like house fly

Your graphics is off point indeed

SmartProf:
In sane climes, citizens are endeared to soldiers and honour them as heroes cos of their sanity to civilians and brutality to foreign enemies of the state. Infact in solidarity, citizens wear military camouflage but in Nigeria, soldiers want to be feared and appear as dreaded beast to the citizens whose taxes pay their bills. They beat traffic at will, flog passer-by, punish unarmed civilians with impunity and harass health workers, even the police, road transporters and travelers. Unfortunately, we have conditioned our minds in this country to believe soldiers are tough and to be feared, comedians make jokes about them on how citizens should fear their presence, those who are motivated to join the armed forces look up to how they will intimidate and send panic to anyone who dares them, their loved ones and their families, so the ego has gotten them distracted from why they were formed. Nigerians must stop this mentality of worshipping soldiers and they must be reforms to bring their excesses to book by the authorities. If this report is true, then we are in a mess as a nation. Funny enough they worship the politicians and serve the domestic needs of top wealthy men they are attached to. Thats to tell u that we are just in a jungle

Ramos16:


If you've read my comments previously you will see that I said it is only the president that has command over the military, and even the oath says the same thing, and yes if a soldier rapes a civilian he is tried by a different laws from the one that civilians are tried, they have a different system of governance basically, they have code and conducts, and every military man or woman has to abide by the rules, I don't know why that makes you feel bad

Farki:


The President gave an order which they are disregarding.

Nigerian soldiers still have to follow the rules of the country. That's why the soldiers that freed Wadume were asked to be turned over to police custody, that's why a Nigerian General was arrested for money laundering, there's a case of a Nigerian military official in a legal battle over property with his wife is it a court martial that will handle that?



Being a soldier doesn't grant immunity from the law, it brings added limitations and freedoms.

Ramos16:


Military code of conducts are often designed to mirror the law of the society they protect, but it isn't the same, civil judges or lawyers cannot proceed over military matters or officers, only in exceptional cases.

And because the military c of c are often alike to the civil laws people think it is the same, no it isn't, the order by the president excludes essential workers which I believe the military is part of, for government employees to now put them in the way of danger because of a law that don't apply to them is unacceptable, and they are allowed to do almost anything to get out of the situation

ffo:

Do you think that is the best way the soldiers could have acted to pass the message?

Farki:


Good you understand that the soldiers broke the rules so civilians could enter the city not the soldiers themselves?

The main crux of the argument is that they are helping civilians to break the laws while threatening non combatants and killing an allied security operative through recklessness which is another matter on it's own.

Also read section 170 of the armed forces act if you think Nigerian soldiers are exempt from the law.

So some people have mind to stand in the way of soldiers in a war area?

u11ae1013:
its like you just returned from pluto if not you would remember what happened few months ago because of the stupid curfew. Could convid team save the civilians if they face any attack?. I guess you can not understand what people are facing over there because you sit inside your parlor in Lagos drinking zobo

SpecialAgent:


That particular area is very volatile, Ur covid 19 team was gathering large number of civilians at that location. Boko boys can easily infiltrate & detonate bombs or hide withing the civilians to attack both soldiers and innocent civilians. The commander could not risk hundreds of civilians and his men dying, so he had to dismantle d covid check point. Am sure the soldiers didn't mean to seriously injure d taskforce but just to scare them
