Photo: Gospel artist RhymeStar Ray battered by soldiers for wearing camouflage shorts
Popular Abuja based gospel musician
RhymeStar Ray Ekwu was beaten up last night by two soldiers on mufty for wearing camouflage shorts. He said he was coming back from seeing off a friend when the men accosted him. He said they slapped and beat him with their hands and belt and injured his ears but thankfully, it wasn't ruptured. He had to be treated in hospital.
But we all know that it is not allowed for a civilian to wear camouflage.......whether it been pant, socks, boxers, trouser or shirt, cap...anytin at all......Even in d university campuses.......ManOwar self go beat U
Sorry sha.....But we all gat to learn one way or another
People now asked why we didn't do rally to support our soldiers...hisss support bullies. All they know how to do is intimidate unarmed civilians , bloody cowards
next time don't wear Camouflage, can't forget what they did to my Uncle, if not for my mom it would have been something else. so celeb make una stop to wear camouflage bcos if Army catch una, oyo go be una own.
This is wrong No maTter what he did He is not suppose to be beaten What happen to justice Instead they have arrested him instead of beating I thought some GEj aides said that since GEj came to power Soldiers have stop beating civilians
One even happen at my area yesterday the guy was asked to sleep inside the gutter the way all this soldier moles civilian is now becoming so alarming..
boko haram is killing people in the north our military officers are not doing anything about it. yet they channel all their efforts at hitting people. mtchew this country is pathetic. i am very sorry about what they did to you. this country is terrible we pay attention to trivial things yet the main issues are left unattended to...
#considering robbers dress in camouflage I suggest entertainers should suspend dressing like so for now. Also soldiers when not sure should take the person to their barrack and hand over to military police in lieu of going violent.
#smh - JAMB has just been taken and candidates are checking their results however it is sad that some may end up attending schools abroad like University of Perpetual Help System Data, Philippines.
#smh - can a poor person give his or her savings to Goodluck? What has he done to reduce poverty?? Isn't it preposterous that they sing our economy is improving yet still the poverty rate is increasing that means economy is only improving for the very rich ones?
eeya!!! sorry ooO. but no be today people don dey wear camouflage shorts na! i guess the soldiers were violence starved. they needed someone to feed on. And look at dinner strolling down without a care in the world, straight into there hands. Too bad!
good for him. they be forming James bond cos they celebrity..ah remember they were warned last year not to wear it..ah could vividly remember when they confronted Ice prince and how he was shivering ...
Eeeyah sorry dis soldiers are mean very mean, imagine I took a pic at baracks last week, a soldier called me and made sure I deleted the pix, thank God I wasn't beaten
OMG! Thank God for his life o, some of those soldiers are very brutal, but Why is it only in nijah that soldiers harass and mistreat the citizens for wearing camouflage I don't understand haba!!!

He FUCKED up. The Military Authorities have already issued series of warning against wearing their camouflage but this retarded so called Gospel Artist instead of being a Role Model choose to do otherwise and even had the guts to publicize this fuckery of which he is the Major Architect. I don't support what the Khaki boys did to him, but i shit on his Gospel Ass for not knowing better. U can bet that Dude was very rude to them that was y he received those hot slaps.
I feel your pain bro. I experienced d same thing while I was a corper some years back in Abraka delta state. Annoyingly the trouser was nowhere near military camo. I identified myself as a doctor and as a corper......mehn it was a nightmare. they stripped me and i still got marks of their cane on my back. Thank God I had my car nearby.
If they see Boko Haram now all of them will abscond, bloody cowards. They only have strength when they see civilians. Boko Haram has exposed how fearful they all are. You can imagine soldiers throwing away their guns and running away whenever to see ragtag ill trained Boko Haram insurgents in combat.
The military have done this times without number for this same "offense"! Do not wear a military camouflage, if you wanna wear, get into the academy! That is their stand! Patoranking and Tiwa caused an uproar within the military circle for performing in military fatigues.
Wow! Even if he did wrong at least he can b corrected and simply told not to wear d outfit again. Simple as dat. Some human's r too wicked in d name of b on uniform.
but the military already warned civilians against wearing camouflage, he doesn't have my sympathy at all cos Nigerians know how to disobey rules and act as victims when they're punished
Wats wrong with all this authorities supposeingly meant to protect us go fight boko haram instead of taking it out on poor innocent people who can't fight back illetrates
Serves him right. Na today? The Nigerian army gave a stern warning about this attire over year ago but people are still rocking camo. The recent robbery in Lekki phase 1 should make people understand the gravity of this fashion mistake. It's a no no. Thankfully he wasn't hurt so much. The injuries will always remind him to obey simple instructions. I reallyyyyyyy wish it was iyanya or wiz boy abi wizkid, whatever he calls himself these days.
He's my frnd and I gt to hear dis mrn. How crazy! I've also heard mad stories of that sort. This guys need to undstnd dat dey owe d pple security and stop behaving like this.
By Richard Grenell - - Thursday, March 19, 2015 With the polls closed in Israel, international election observers now turn their attention to the Nigerian elections on March 28. The choice for the leader of Africa’s most populous country pits Goodluck Jonathan from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) against Mohammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The decision by the roughly 73 million registered Nigerian voters could have a profound impact on the future of Africa.
But Western foreign policy observers pre-occupied with the rise of ISIS in the Middle East should wake up to the reality unfolding in Nigeria. Opposition candidate General Buhari wants Sharia law throughout Nigeria. In fact, he wants it everywhere.
“I will continue to show openly and inside me the total commitment to the Sharia movement that is sweeping all over Nigeria,” Mr. Buhari said. “God willing, we will not stop the agitation for the total implementation of the Sharia in the country.”
Agitation? Is this an indication that Mr. Buhari supports violence because the end goal of the terrorist attacks throughout Nigeria and Africa is an Islamic state? It is a legitimate question that should be asked by leaders of the Obama administration.
Boko Haram has pledged its allegiance and support to ISIS. The Northern Nigerian based Islamic terrorist group wants Sharia law throughout Nigeria and beyond. They are also actively terrorizing Chad, Niger and Cameroon with their goal of an Islamic state.
Mr. Buhari has also spoken sympathetically about members of the terrorist group Boko Haram, has cautioned against a rush to judgement on its members and has personally been selected by the terrorist group to lead its negotiations with the Government of Nigeria. Mr. Buhari’s election as Nigeria’s head of state would be a disaster for Africa. It would also signal trouble for the West’s fight against ISIS and terrorism throughout the Middle East.
Animal kingdom for real.. I am based abroad and their uniform men are so friendly, you just walk up to them and take pics. but in Nigeria they are mad dogs.
Lmao.....linda pls remove "Popular " cox I don't know him, if he was rilli popular d soldier would have noticed him na! Lol dem beat am well! It's gonna be Wizkid, Ice Prince, Davido n Patoranking would be d next! Dats d only sign of respect for dem, so we should respect d mouflague!
useless nation ...i wear camouflage right here in the Uk and even all countries have visited in europe,no one stops you..Only in a lawless jungle like nigeria such things happen ..
You be big buffoon. Foolish statement. They're worthless to you while they've been out there in the North dying for your stupid ass, and you are here reading Linda Ikeji. Otondo olodo exempted. I no blame you, you subscribe mtn 100 naira come get access to say anything.
He is even trying to give the military bad publicity instead of showing remourse and he calls himself a gospel artist. i dont blame him when all their pentecostal pastors are busy owning jets and collecting N7b from Jonathan and meddling in politics that is the domain of idol worshippers. this country is just sick.
Dnt mind the fool he doesn't knw dt apart from a military personnel, anyoda person on camoflage is BokoHaram. He is lucky dey didn't kill him, anuofia na agu egwu uka.
All over the world shops sell camo clothing, it's only in Nigeria that people readily accept any pronouncement banning them from doing things that they love. In so far as the camo clothing has no rank, why would anyone ban anyone from wearing it?
If the students, youths, lovers of camo clothing would stand up against this, these beatings and harassment would stop. No Nigerian law requires you should not wear camouflage clothing.
Its not carrying BB and expensive phones all over the place, people should put them to good use, mobilize yourselves and reach out to the Senate and house o Reps to pass a law banning anyone from harassing anyone for indulging in what he loves. Nigeria is funny, soon you might see tribes ban people not of their tribe from wearing their traditional clothing and this would easily be acceptable, Phew!! My name: Ortubu
I guess u are a military person cos i dont know why u are taking it so serious dz way. People like u have ur sizes....and u will surely receive it. Dem come beat person like say he b plank....Just wait for d result....ur generation go suffer am...you fool

Hard luck.
The military have done this times without number for this same "offense"! Do not wear a military camouflage, if you wanna wear, get into the academy! That is their stand! Patoranking and Tiwa caused an uproar within the military circle for performing in military fatigues.
