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.”

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.

Well you can't blame him over 10 million foolish Nigerians decide to reward his glaring failure with a second term and oga burdillion that orchestrated the whole thing has suddenly lost his voice....


I hope SW learn from this mess they put themselves in 2023 and not align with the Fulani's, the same thing Alimi did in his days is playing out again many years after, we Yoruba's don't learn from history....

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.

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!
