Maybe you be the next to exhibit gallantry and beat up military men let's see how brave you are! Mtsweeeeeen

Namaster:


They lay siege to a civilian settlement but become chickens when faced with armed criminals/gunmen.

By the way, where is the lady they KIDNAPPED?

Why they no build barracks there?

lexy2014:
Was it all the traders in Banex that beat the soldiers?

Just like politicians, the military have immunity from the constitution.

The index that joins these lawless individuals together is corruption. It's a scratch my back I scratch yours cycle.
The military are sent on errands when the politicians feel their existence is threatened and the politicians in return look the other way when the military take laws into their hands and commit genocide or human rights abuses.
To hell with the law. It's not worth the judge's wig

Which section of the Constitution gives the military immunity? The way you people boldly spread misinformation is scary.

Banex owner is from my town oraukwu anambra state if anything happens to Banex plaza nigerian are in trouble in the south east

Goodlyhrt:
The military men in this country behave in a manner without any iorta of respect for the citizens whose collective tax pay their dues.

It is like they don't orientate any form of honor and regard for citizens that they are meant to protect.

Imagine some of them here bragging about how they are supposed to act in an animalistic manner towards unarmed civilians.

Oga your Job is to protect and defend the territorial integrity of Nigeria not to lay your filthy hands on any one citizen of this country.

I think the leadership of this country is such an incompetent quagmire of touts and street urchins. I am sorry for the harsh words. Failure throughout!

These soldiers don't seem to realize that they are PUBLIC SERVANTS servants oh not overlords.

You die in battlefield yes of course that's among the job description. If you don't like it them you quit. And stop using the challenges you face at your line of duty (which you were duely informed of it's peculiarities) as an excuse to maim or harm the citizens of that country you are asked to protect.

We need to deliberately perform a surgical exercise on the brain cells of our leadership system in this country. Everything sucks!

But, the job of the civilians is to lay their filthy hands on soldiers abi? Continue

Only in Nigeria and even in a capital city will the military lay siege on a facility

Vex all u want...u dont touch millitary on uniform.hav some respect

MasterTeeUSA:
Now, you ask valid questions...let me answer them one by one...I am not a military spokesman but I can educate you.

1. You stop commercial activities because it is a crime scene. An assault on an officer or officers require proper investigations, and you cannot compromise the location by allowing business to continue.
2. Soldiers continue to lay siege on the bandits, and though I know some of you cannot read, some were recently rescued from Sambisa Forest, a place you or those like you would not dare enter.
3. What did they achieve with the siege...the Management of the complex is in conversation with those that use the complex, and so a resolution might have been reached that the perpetrators will be handed over to the relevant authorities which happens in all law enforcement approaches. Sometimes, the local police take over ... after the Federal Police clears the scene.

Now you have been educated a bit, but I do not expect this to change how you reason. It is really just for others to learn. May God bless our soldiers, and may God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria

pls educate me further.

1. who declared banex a crime scene?

a. what crime was committed at banex?

b. if a crime was committed, who has the constitutional responsibility to investigate any crime?

c. what investigation was carried out by the soldiers in the cause of laying siege on banex? what would have been compromised by allowing traders to conduct their daily business at banex?

2. since you can read very well, can you tell me the bandits enclaves that soldiers have laid siege on?

a. who are the "some were recently rescued from Sambisa Forest"?

3. I thought you earlier said "An assault on an officer or officers require proper investigations, and you cannot compromise the location by allowing business to continue"? if that is the case, why is the discussion by the management and traders of banex now an achievement by the soldiers?

a. what resolution are you referring? resolution between who and who?

b. is it resolution between the traders and the management of the complex that will produce the perpetrators?

c. are you saying that with siege, the soldiers were unable to capture the perpetrators?

d. which relevant authorities are you referring to?

e. which scene is police clearing again? what are the police clearing in the scene?

f. have the police not cleared the scene all this while?

4. in your US that you are in, is this how soldiers lay siege on civilians if they have an encounter with civilians?

5. why are you not living in Nigeria?

Yes if you misbehave because he who pays the Piper dictate the tune.

But joke apart eh you guys have not adorned yourselves in silk. Your comrades act like demigods.. whence cometh this phrase BLOODY CIVILIAN.

Y'all act with so much impunity which makes your case un-pityable each you have a faceoff with the civilians you so much loath.

He has a right to shop in a shopping complex jst like u

But why will you beat a military man on uniform? Is that not an insult to the nation?

Foolishness is not far from these soldiers.

Imagine rubbish quote.. so human lives are now apples that can be thrown out because it doesn't make a dozen.

Nigeria military service needs a proper reorientation. WTF?

cescky:


a country whose capital is being ravaged by kidnappers and terrosrist, yet the army lay siege to a shopping mall, and with pride for that matter, if you dont see how cursed nigeria is, you have been jinxed

Are you the one that cursed Nigeria?

Compliant:
I see lots of people here supporting the guys that were hitting the soldiers, its just unfortunate.

Reporting the soldiers to the appropriate quarters is a better option

Two wrongs cannot make a right

Don't mind them: the soldiers are not human beings. They don't have kids that will cry for them, they don't have parents that will say: chai!! My son, nor do they have wife's that will be widows. They just fall from the sky...

If you believe your first paragraph is applicable in this context, I rest my case.

But, my take is… the people messed up and the soldiers handled it wrongly. It cancels out.
I believe in justice. I’m not a hypocrite like most of y’all on nairaland.

9 days without opening their shops!
They shop owners should sue them asap

The female military women that reported molestation to the so called appropriate quarters are still languishing in detainment.

If they can do that to one of their own who is even female, who do you think you are?

I'm not responsible for your lack of understanding

The shop owners have lost millions of naira.

report them to who exactly?
When they are all the same

Na Banex na. By the grace of God majority of people wey dey for Abuja go in a way or another reach there to do business.

It is wrong to first of all call soldiers. However, just pray that may you not in this hard economy gather your money to buy stuff you intend to use and at the end you will not get value for.

Mind you, there is a at least a police post there in Banex but customer will rather sort self help because there are already bought over. Moreover, the job of a police man there is only to protect the businesses either right or wrong. It's only in the court the seller may get justice. Yet, if any issue is to take you there, na the billing of your life you go receive. But then, thank God you guys are now acknowledging the responsibilities of the police. Maybe it's time for the soldiers to be called to their barracks and allow the police to handle internal crimes and misbehaviours but then, e go do Una?

That said, I discovered that lots of this Banex urchins are here, filling the thread with Anti-Army posts for correcting what seem to be societal wrong. We see people complain everyday here when Mob action is taken again thieves that were even caught in the act ooo but because it's Army personnel they hate law and order, mob action on them is now a good thing. You filmed, in jubilation and post online where you were mobbing the Army personnel and you think there will not be any consequences. You lie. Even the bandits and terrorists that you are now glorifying as your preferred lords and personal saviours would mostly don't not do that. Committing crime and postings their faces allover the internet at the crime scene.

Anyways, it has happened. My only concern is for other innocent shop owners who may not even be aware of the happenings when it was ongoing that had to have their shops locked up for days. They go don loose money. As for the shop owner, at least e go don learn say; first, selling bad products to customers and thinking all will just take it like that will not always happen. Second, if issues come like that with a product you sold to customers you should always find a better to resolved instead of thinking that nothing will happen.
Thirdly, instigating mob action against Security Agents is bad no matter who is on your side because at the end, na you go carry am. No amount of online instigation and insults on the authorities go solve am. The same energy they used in videoing the mob action is the same energy they'd have used in videoing the quarrels when it started without fight and send it to twitter as they did even if they don't know where to report officially. By now na only the Army Guys for dey in soup but now, they are all in soup together.

And to the urchins in Banex, If Una like make Una continue na small small hand go touch Una. If you cannot go about your normal business without fermenting trouble then do not go and put people's businesses in jeopardy. If you want fight, go learn boxing for National Stadium or go Deidei go learn Dembe, you can also carry that strength try join the Army too no be for business area.

And for all of you wey dey shout tax payers, all government employees na tax payers too. Infcat na them dey pay tax pass sef because the government has access to their salaries and wages and taxes are deducted from it at the source even before it's paid to them. No be business men wey fit manipulate and pay wetin him like.

M talking abt d d soldier...he went to shop
