A witness who owns a shop in the vicinity said the soldier who reportedly came to the area from Lagos few days ago was said to have been making advances on a married woman in the community.

It was further learnt that the woman in question turned down the soldier, informing him that she was already married.

The witness said the soldier persisted, which made the woman to report to her husband.

It was learnt that the woman's husband confronted the soldier and an altercation ensued in the process.

Our correspondent learnt that angry mob upon learning about the incident mobilised themselves and joined hands with the man in fighting the soldier.

The witness said the soldier was beaten black and blue before he was rescued and taken away by some of his colleagues.
