Army/herdsmen Connivance: Soldiers Force Victim To Retract Torture Accusation by Mgbadike80: 5:15am On Jan 31, 2021 |
DAUD OLATUNJI Some soldiers on Friday invaded some communities in the Yewa-North Local Government Area of Ogun State and forced the victims to recant torture allegation against them. The soldiers, whose identities could not be ascertained as of the time of filing this report, stormed the villages and assembled the residents on Friday evening. The soldiers, numbering about 10, had reportedly escorted some herdsmen to some villages in Ketuland a few weeks ago and flogged them for refusing to allow the herdsmen to graze their cattle on their farmlands. Three traditional rulers in the area wrote a petition against the soldiers and addressed it to the Army, the government and the police in the state. The Army kept mum while the government and the police confirmed they were aware of the incident. On Friday, some soldiers were reported to have returned to one of the villages; Ubeku, in Eseluland, and asked one of the victims to retract the allegation. The activities of the soldiers were secretly recorded by one of the villagers who gave the audio clip to our correspondent. The 3:59 minutes audio revealed that the Army had received the petition over the allegation that its officers from 35 Artillery Brigade, Alamala, Abeokuta, allegedly connived with herdsmen to flog some members of the community for refusing the herdsmen to graze their cattle on their farmlands. One of the soldiers who appeared to have been commissioned to investigate the allegation was heard asking the victim to make a video recording of the retraction. The soldier was heard making frantic efforts to force the victim simply identified as Seye to retract his statement but he insisted that he was flogged. The soldier was heard saying, “…I want you to video him because your name is what we have in the petition. Your name is what we have so you will record him now. He will call his name and say that nobody touched you. “I have to write a report on the investigation. I want to speak with him. Then, you, being the Baale and the youth leader, if that is done I think I am okay with it. “You will say from you who claimed that you were beaten mercilessly because you asked a question; soldiers spit on you. He will call his name as you are recording him and say all these are false. Nobody touched him and whatever he said, nobody forced him to say; he said it out of his freewill in the presence of the Baale and the youth leader and of course members of the community. Are you getting me? Go ahead.” https://punchng.com/army-herdsmen-connivance-soldiers-force-victim-to-retract-torture-accusation/ |

This is a result of drafting 'repentant' terrorists into a country's armed forces. But, let Nigerians be warned: THE WORST OF THIS GOVERNMENT IS YET TO BE SEEN. Please, everybody, help me to beg Lalasticlala or Mynd44 to do the needful. The world needs to know this. Then, the person who made the secret audio, I may never know you, but God knows you. As you helped to expose the activities of these terrorists, no evil will ever befall you or your own. You will never lack. If the terrorists come looking for you, they will go blind in Jesus's Mighty Name I pray. Amen. 9 Likes 1 Share |

Is Evans a herdsman? That was the foolish comment made by a supposed elderstatesman ( oh I forgot he's even a drug Baron). Now the entire south west have been invaded and the Chicago drug Baron is no where to be found. He has been complicitly silence on serious issues of National concern all because of his stupid presidential ambition. Even if his entire region is wiped out by herdsmen , he won't utter a word just to be a president. Unfortunately, he is yet to realise that his presidential ambition remains a pipe dream. 1 Like |

I think Nnamdi Kanu deserves an apology from a lot of people in dis forum and country. Yes I still think he’s a maniac, but John the Baptist and Jesus weren’t gentlemen of the press either. Why, u say?? Because a lot of you including reverend fathers predicted an end to corruption, hardship, government waste & insecurity pre-2015 elections. He alone predicted doom & gloom for the country if Buhari was elected. For that the whole SE that he does not even represent was disparaged, abused, & mocked as foolish. Even Remi Tinubu was seen on tape proudly talking down on a young Igbo man who begged her for help, "we no dey trust Igbo again". When MNK prophesied that the army would aid the Fulani oppress Nigerians, foolish Yoruba kids were all up in SM laughing. It is now that Southerners understand the adage that when the leg is in pain, the eyes also cry. Are you okay with the way the country is being run? If you’re not, then that young man deserves an apology from you & me for not believing him then! |
