Firstly, am not a reporter or a journalist neither do I own a blog but as a concern Nigerian, I felt it's part of my duty to blow whistle when I see something wrong happening in or around my environment.
Let me go straight to the issue at hand. On Wednesday 23 of November, we were going home from work around 9:33pm inside our staff bus, on getting close to Suleja round about around that Kantoma Bridge, we met some Suleja Emirate Civil Security Corps (SECSC) also known as YANBANGA with men of the Nigerian Army aka Soldiers. We were asked to park along with other cars and the soldiers ask everyone to come down and sit along the road for coming late, the reason is because of the fight that happened last week around that area. We obeyed without any delay but what baffled me was when two young guys among the other crowds sitting near us stood up and said we are Copers and immediately, one of the soldiers shouted at them and said, your father, me too don serve before I join army abi una think say na only una go school? Common sit down! They obeyed at that moment but later stood up again and said its not done this way, immediately one of the YANBANGAs gave one of them a sound slap, the Coper shouted at the YANBANGA guy and say for wettin? U no reach na, who u b (in warri tongue) before we know it, the soldier came and gave the Coper another hot slap and even gave the two guys a serious punishment that one of the sustained injuries upon.
Now my question is, does a soldier has any right to maltreat a serving Coper? Does it mean they (the copers) are no longer govt properties?

Please I just need to know before me too become coper.

This is what happens when "service to humanity is replaced with one the last order"

Some of you corp members think that khaki is a substitute for common sense and civility. Being a corps member doesn't give you automatic immunity from civil regulations.
Standing up and proclaiming your rights in such manner is an affront to the uniformed man running to the show.
There are smarter ways to go about such things, ask your corp friend tomorrow, has grown some wisdom already. Experience is still the best teacher

Was there a curfew in town prior to this?

Oga Yokiti and crazyman, i think people needs to read this, let's know who's at fault and the best way to handle such situations. Thanks for answering!
