One of the military personnel keeping watch at the popular Banex plaza in the Wuse 2 area of Abuja, has slapped a lady into coma.

Daily Trust reports that the plaza has remained under lock and key four days after thugs beat up some soldiers who had a disagreement with a trader.

Our correspondent had gone to the area to monitor update when soldiers accosted the lady who crossed a barricade at the plaza.

The lady was trekking on the barricaded road when she was stopped by soldiers.

After asking her some questions, one of them slapped her heavily and she collapsed.

Daily Trust correspondent at the scene witnessed how she was rushed into a van which sped off the scene.

It is unclear if she was being taken to the hospital for medical attention.

Meanwhile, traders have been counting their losses over the military action, which they said could have been resolved without the lockdown.

Our correspondent who visited the market on Tuesday afternoon found soldiers across the plaza.

Lamenting the situation, Chibuzor Ike, a phone repairer at the plaza, i said: “I am already counting losses. It doesn’t seem like they will leave anytime soon. We are pleading for the reopening of the place for business.”

Trouble started when thugs beat up some soldiers who had a disagreement with a trader in the plaza.

The trader had reportedly sold a bad phone to someone who invited soldiers. Rather than resolve the issue amicably, the trader reportedly invited thugs who assaulted the uniform men.

They descended on at least two soldiers and another man in mufti. The thugs who broke into groups slapped, kicked and beat up the soldiers.

Although the police stepped in to resolve the situation, soldiers later stormed the plaza, forcing traders to shut down immediately.

Some videos on social media showed soldiers chasing a crowd of people and punishing a few others.

The army has been silent on the action at the plaza as Onyema Nwachukwu has not made an official comment as of the time of filing this report.

Sincerely Nigeria Army urgently needs restructuring. I still don't understand why our soldiers always behave like thugs.... Even some motor park tout even conduct themselves than some soldiers.

To start with, how can soldiers be fighting with civilians inside the market. You hardly hear Nigeria Navy and Nigeria Airforce fighting people why always Nigeria Army.

I pray the innocent lady come out of coma.

This is the only thing they're good at , send them to go and bring bakassi peninsula and you will get baskets of excuses and a tank or tears. Tufiakwa.

Igbos always misbehaving anywhere they go, but will cry victim when you deal with them...

That plaza should be locked permanently. They should relocate to aba that ottilor is developing.

Useless soldier slapping an unarmed woman. If they see terrorists now, they will run away.

..how do you know it was not a Yoruba woman or a benin or fulani that got slapped into coma..

It should be closed because you think you are doing Igbos. Hatred & jealousy making you to wish evil on your own people..

Nawa..

Lawless country

I consider it rather unprofessional for soldiers to barricade the plaza in the name of showing force and create bad PR for itself.

Look, when I saw the initial video of the mob assault on military persons, I thought to myself that all the Army Authorities needed to do was to lie low on daily basis, identity and 'harvest' the culprits one by one because there is no way those culprits won't come back to work at the plaza with the same clothes they wore on the day of mob assault.

Is like the military is living in another country having their own president.

Hail the culprit action but blame the victim reaction!
Not just the soldiers alone, Nigerians need orientation in the way we treat our men in uniform. They are not just human beings like us , but people who have chosen to sacrifice their own lives for us to live. They should be accosted with the respect they deserve. You can't mistreat them at the same time expect claps from them. If as a civilian you can be man enough to slap a soldier man, then, be ready to be manned enough to take a bullet from a soldier man.
