    1. I was just about to drop a comment of my own before I came across this comment. I hurts me to be referred to as a "human rights abusers" when all I do is put my life on the line for others, most of which I don't even know.. I'm nt justifying what the young man has done, neither I'm in support.. But pls, let's be careful with our choice of words. My comrades die restoring and maintaining peace, and their legacy is what they died for,, how will their offspring and those they left behind feel when they are being referred to as an "abuser".. Just say tho.. I'm a soldier.. I'm a man.. Educated enough to be accepted in so many other career path, but I choose to fight for the helpless, and that's my service to humanity.. what's yours? Meanwhile I already typed this before I realised I'm replying a pervert..

  7. This recruit should be dismissed and the victim should be heavily compensated. And the national assembly should consider withdrawing firearms from these boys scouts who have no business with fireams. It's very disheartening that Nigeria stands out as one country where people who been paid with tax payers money for security of its citizenry are the same people killing their employers who are the tax payers. Nonsense!!!

  8. NSCDC, Customs, Immigration, name them all. They are all guilty of abuse of power and civilian brutalization. I've even seen Man-O-War people harrasing a hawker in Lekki Lagos long before Ambode came out with his controversial ban on street Hawking. Once people don any uniform in this country, it becomes their excuse to maltreat their fellow countrymen. God and karma is watching all of you.

  12. Please follow this story the end. We have complained of impunity ad infinitum. Because some people carry guns, they think that intimidation of ordinary citizens is the way to go. Let us be sure this fellow is treated in a commensurate way to his actions.

  16. We have a serious and delicate issue abt misuse of power and position in Nigeria. When they were without gun they appeared vulnerable now that they are empowered, they see it as licence to intimidate innocent citizens. Hoodlums in uniform, may God deliver us. Thank God the doctor wasn't killed.

  17. I can verify this story because I was there. This doctor works in Paediatrics dept, FMC, Yenagoa. He was shot at for hitting a stray dog and then beaten up in the presence of his wife, son and daughter who were in the car. That nscdc official is a real danger if left in society.
