5 Nigerian Soldiers Beat Lawyer To Coma, Dump Him In Gutter In Delta State
Barrister Sunny Ekwe, another victim of military brutality is currently clinging to life at an undisclosed hospital in Delta state days after some power hungry soldiers brutalised him.
Barrister Ekwe was beaten to coma around 7pm on Saturday the 11th of March while returning home from a family meeting.
According to family insiders, he was attacked at Okpara waterside in Ethiope LGA of the state when he refused to yield to the instruction of a soldier who ordered him to follow him to a dark place where 4 other soldiers were waiting.
Due to the security challenge around the country, the lawyer quickly took to his heels.
His refusal to follow the soldier drew the attention of the other 4 soldiers who joined their colleague to beat Barrister Ekwe to coma.
They later dragged him into a muddy gutter with the hope that he would drown.
Ekwe who sustained head and spinal cord injuries is lying critically ill at a private hospital in Ethiope.
A close friend of the victim, Omes Ogedengbe has called on the Nigerian Army to ensure Barrister Ekwe gets justice.

Those uncivilized animals that call themselves Nigerian soldiers should be dealt with and put in jail. I don’t know how well they are being screened before given the uniform. The last most recent touching incident was that of a crippled man, now a lawyer. Who knows the next victim and the unlucky victims who went missing. Too bad. This nonse has to stop. I hate reading and not seeing changes.

That is a lie, the lawyer was very wrong. We saw it all, that night the I was walking on the street of Okpara water side, I saw a Jeep driving anyhow on the and it was around 9:30pm immediately the Jeep stop so I decide to look every one on the were drunk including the lawyer no wonder they were driving anyhow on the road. The Jeep finally stop at a bar
PLEASE tell me what responsible lawyer get his self drunk
Trying to sleep with under age girls
Driving any how on streets
So let me continue the drunk lawyer Jeep stop at the bar and it happens that two young soldiers are sitting at bar with their girlfriend they were without uniform
The lawyer came down from is car and call the soldier girlfriend, I don’t know if he knew her before, so the went to him. They started talking. We all notices the lawyer holding the girl by the neck the girl struggle to remove his hand from her neck and this caught the soldier attention, so he walk up to them to ask what was going on.
When he got there he ordered the lawyer to remove his hand from the girl neck
The lawyer refuse and shouted at the soldier who are you to tell me that, do you know who I am. The soldier decided to remove the hand by him self, before I could see the lawyer/ banister pick up a bottle and it to the ground and trys to stab the soldier, and the soldier defended. The other two soldiers came out to into the issue. But still the banister was drunk and wanted to fight, so they had no option then to teach him a lesson.

There are too many criminals in the Nigerian army. Those power hungry uncivilized illiterate fools think being in a military uniform is a license to kill and maim innocent civilians. The untamed ones among them are giving the whole Nigeria military a bad name. Why did the stupid soldier ask him to follow him to a dark place where other 4 soldiers were waiting? to rob him or what?. Around December last year we were shown 2 female soldiers brutalizing two innocent men because they did not run fast enough when they (the soldiers) called them. Then last month we were shown how two idiotic soldiers brutalized a crippled man in Onitsha simply because he wore a camouflage, a common thing people here wear. Send them to go face Boko Haram and you will see them shed their uniforms.

Nothing can be done on the pages of newspapers or online. There should be mass protest on major streets to call the attention of the powers that be to the plights of Nigerians in the hands of these idiots in uniforms. Most of them are unfit to fight but rely on their uniforms and guns to threaten people. Liberalize the use of guns and see whether they will not be dying like chickens. Foolish people!!
