A commercial bus driver identified as Isaac Onaiwu has been allegedly beaten to death by soldiers from the Nigeria Army School of Supply and Transport (S&T) Ugbowo in Edo State.

The late Onaiwu aged 48 died at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital where he was taken to by soldiers and policemen after being beaten to coma.

Sources at the hospital said the deceased was brought by soldiers and died few hours later.
Elder brother of the deceased, Matthew Onaiwu said his late brother was an operator of a campus shuttle bus between the UNIBEN and Ring Road.

He said his late brother had a collision with a car belonging to an Army lieutenant on Tuesday night following which soldiers dragged Isaac Onaiwu to S & T where he was allegedly beaten to a state of coma and later taken to the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) by soldiers and policemen.

Matthew said his younger brother died Thursday afternoon at the hospital from the severe beating he received.
He said they had earlier reported the incident to the Ugbowo Police Station, Benin.

When contacted to confirm the story, the Administrative Officer of S & T, Capt. Uche said: “Why are you calling me? Who gave you my number? There is no such story here. Go back to UBTH.”
