A viral video showing two Nigerian soldiers mercilessly beating a driver for bashing their car has sparked widespread outrage on social media.
In the disturbing footage, the soldiers, dressed in their camouflage uniforms, can be seen forcefully dragging the man out of his vehicle and subjecting him to intense physical assault.
The helpless driver was repeatedly hit as he tried to explain, asking, “How did I bash your car?” A woman beside him shouted, “He is not feeling fine,” but despite their pleas, the army officers continued the assault.
Nigerians have taken to social media to express their anger over the incident. Popular activist Verydarkman weighed into the matter, claiming that the soldiers are so shameless and have no honor. He also call for the dismissal of the army officers.
He wrote, “To this army officer,you have no honor,you are sh@m3l3ss TO THE NIGERIAN ARMY WE CALL FOR THE DISMISSAL OF THIS INDISCIPLINED OFFICER….the uniform men should know their place in the society, they are meant to serve and protect not bylly and opr3zz and abuse power.”
Mr Macaroni, who is a comic star, activist and actor, also took to his social media page to express his frustration. He stated that the soldiers are oppressing the defenseless man.
He wrote, “Shameless Brutes! Flexing their muscle on the same defenseless civilians they ought to protect. Always so sad to see scenes like this without any show of solidarity from fellow Nigerians witnessing the oppression in real time.”
