Civil Defence Operatives Brutalise PUNCH Journalist In Imo After Labelling Him IPOB Spy

While one of the NSCDC operatives hit him with the butt of his rifle, the other punched him in his left eye and smashed one of his smartphones.


Operatives of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps, Owerri, on Monday, brutalised the Imo State correspondent of PUNCH Newspapers, Chidiebube Okeoma, saying he was a spy for the Indigenous People of Biafra’s militia wing, the Eastern Security Network. The operatives, who were attached to the Federal Girls Government College, thereafter arrested and bundled him to their command headquarters.

While one of the NSCDC operatives hit him with the butt of his rifle, the other punched him in his left eye and smashed one of his smartphones.

The journalist was released after he was interrogated by a senior officer at the command headquarters.

Okeoma was later treated at the Chapel Group Hospital, Ikenegbu-Owerri, after he lost a lot of blood.

The journalist, while narrating his ordeal, said, “We were at the FGGC, Owerri, to meet the school’s principal over a viral video where a senior student of the school was seen bullying a junior student. At the gate, the security men (NSCDC officers) stopped us and on inquiry, they said that the principal was not around.

“I asked them to take us to the vice-principal and they said he was not on seat. I asked them to take me to the next-in-command; they asked me to return next week. I told them that it was urgent, and this was when they started bullying me.

Thereafter, two armed NSCDC officers emerged and started beating me. One of them hit me with the butt of his rifle and my head was broken. While in a pool of blood, they dragged me barefoot to their command headquarters like a common criminal. While I was being dragged to their headquarters, one of the officers said I came to kidnap the students. He labelled me a member of the Eastern Security Network.

“At their command headquarters, I was interrogated by a senior officer and was later allowed to go. I immediately went to a hospital and was treated. I have gone to the Shall Camp Police Division to make a statement.”

The reporter, who noted that one of the officers threatened to kill him, said he reported the matter at a police station in the area.

However, the state Commissioner of Police, Rabiu Hussaini, who sympathised with the journalist, said only the NSCDC could redress the wrong.

He urged Okeoma to report to the nearest command of the agency.

See Ekuke civil defense wey dem give guns just yesterday don dey strong pari.

Wonders.

And u say make I pity any dead uniformed men?
Ogun punish una one by one

As far as I am concerned, this idiot is a Terrorist.

The same punch has been carrying the news of innocent men and women brandished IPOB and terrorists, so on behalf of reasonable people, the so called Journalists is lying, he is a bona-fide terrorist.
They should have killed him and place two AK-47 by his side like the innocent Igbo youths he helped Nigeria spread their propaganda.

Since we all want to be mad

And unfortunately even Punch is terrified to report this

Na for East even common civil defence we used as toilet tissue here deh get power.

Personally,i like what they did to him,his lagos and abuja editors and thousands of their readers will by this maltreatment understand the fact that most of those they kill and report as "terrorists" and Igbos\esn are in fact INNOCENTS.

And PUNCH news will still be helping Nigeria terrorist force in propagating lies against Ipob.

It will get to the politicians soon

Ipob terrorist spotted

The brutality and wickedness in Nigeria is too much. Why would they do this to the innocent journalist? Later now, someone will wonder why many Igbos want out of Nigeria. Can you blame them? Nigerian security agents keep brutalizing people in the Eastern part of Nigeria. It's not right. Let's speak up against injustice. An injustice to one is an injustice to all.

Ipob terrorist spotted

IPOB, the first "terrorist" group that is recognized as terrorist only in Daura, Katsina State (a place where cow is more intelligent and respected than human being).

Boko Haram terrorist, I have seen you already.
