A Nigerian soldier has reportedly damaged the car of an abroad returnee following their advice about his irresponsible driving.
A couple engaged in a conversation with the soldier who had stopped them on the roadside to demonstrate his authority in a video that was making the rounds on social media.
According to the returnee couple, the soldier reacted forcefully to their warning and assaulted them while also causing damage to their vehicle.
A Twitter activist, Femi Adeyeye, raised the Nigerian Army’s attention to the regrettable deed of one of its military members and shared details of all that transpired.
While sharing the video on his page, he wrote;
“A couple arriving from the US and heading to Ota, Ogun State had a brawl on the road with a soldier.
According to reports, even from witnesses, the said soldier was driving recklessly and this couple had to caution him to be careful, lest he causes an accident…
The next thing was that he pursued them, overtook, jumped out of his car in a gestapo manner, asked the woman to open the car that he needs to “discipline” both of them. I have never seen this kind of horror before, happening especially to people who were just arriving Nigeria…
after their years of sojourn abroad. This is sickening.
The @HQNigerianArmy must be compelled to look into this nonsense. Why would a soldier put lives in danger for hours, damage people’s car and threaten to kill, just because he was cautioned? What kind of society is this?
The couple remained calm in the car as seen in these videos, refused to open and the soilder, as if he’s under the influence of drugs, held on to their mirror, broke it, broke the window, smashed the body of the car.”
