Some Arm Force Personnels or Boko Haram Who Should We Fear?

A man that was allegedly brutalized and shot on the leg by some soldiers in Benin, the Edo State capital, has raised the alarm over what he called the inhuman treatment meted out to him.
But the Nigerian Army has insisted that the man, Mr. Daniel Owie, is an armed robber, who attempted to snatch the soldiers’ vehicle.
The soldiers, who were reportedly
led by an Army Captain, actually brutalized Owie before shooting him on the leg.
In a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, the victim appealed to him to investigate the alleged murder attempt on his life and the breach of his fundamental human rights by a group of soldiers led by a yet to be identified captain in Benin.

The violent our arm forces inflict on civilians is inhuman. We are humans and as such have rights.
Imagine that they shot him after brutalizing him. Meaning he was in their custody.
Why not hand him over to the police instead of shooting him?
Seems they derive pleasure in harming civilians.


Change!!!
