A power-drunk Nigerian soldier seen on tape flogging a woman over alleged indecent dressing has been arrested.
The sad incident of the flogging took place in Beere community of Ibadan, Oyo state.
Many onlookers stood in shock as the soldier meted out the ‘punishment.’ They allegedly collected money from them after harassing and extorting them.
Following the public outcry, the soldiers have been arrested and taken to the barracks.
This was disclosed on Twitter by the state Commissioner for Youths and Sports, Seun Fakorede. He wrote;
”My ears are full with news of the unlawful activities of some Soldiers of the Nigerian Army, over the weekend. I have immediately reached out to the Commandant of the Operation Burst and I’ve been assured that the men involved in this distasteful operation have been arrested and taken to the barracks — they will be dealt with accordingly. This will not repeat itself again in Oyo State. Please, kindly go about your daily business and activities without fear. Thank you.”
