A disturbing video has emerged online showing a Nigerian Army Major General and other soldiers brutally assaulting a couple in their vehicle in public.
The viral footage reveals the harsh treatment of the couple by the soldiers. This incident raises concerns about the Nigerian Army’s conduct and treatment of civilians.
In the video, the soldiers are seen repeatedly hitting and kicking the young man, who appears helpless and defenseless.
It was learnt that the couple was assaulted for overtaking the soldiers’ vehicle.
The video has sparked calls for accountability and reform within the military to prevent such incidents in the future. Many have condemned the soldiers’ actions, citing human rights violations and the need for restraint.
Although details on the location and date of the incident remain unclear, the footage reveals the victims pleading for help as they suffer at the hands of the military personnel.
This incident bears disturbing resemblance to a previous case reported by SaharaReporters in July, where Nigerian military personnel publicly tortured and brutalized a citizen for allegedly wearing camouflage clothing.
The recurrence of such incidents raises serious concerns about the Nigerian military’s conduct, accountability, and respect for human rights.
The video, obtained by SaharaReporters on Saturday, shows two soldiers brutally assaulting a young man.
The footage reveals one soldier, dressed in full military gear with a military police badge, and another in plain clothes, violently dragging and hitting the victim with a belt and a wooden log.
