The Nigerian military has reacted to a photo published on the front page of Daily Trust newspaper today which showed a soldier torturing a man in Mararaba, Nassarawa state over the weekend. According to a statement by the army, the soldiers have been identified and will face disciplinary actions. The army press statement below...
The attention of Nigerian Army has been drawn to a front page photograph of some soldiers maltreating a suspected robber at Mararraba, Nasarawa State, on the front page of today’s edition of Daily Trust newspaper.
Sadly, it is also trending on the Social Media.
There is no doubt the photograph has done incalculable damage to the image of the service. The act was unfortunate and at variance with military ethics and professionalism.
The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the public that the perpetrators of the offence have been identified, summoned and would face disciplinary action.he Army has also reached out to the management of the newspaper over this poor and worrisome editorial judgement by giving this misdemeanour prominence in their paper. Alerting appropriate Nigerian Army authorities would have been a better option that will be met with prompt response.
We wish to assure the public that the Nigerian Army would continue to protect and respect human rights and that this regrettable incidence should not be used as a yardstick to judge the entire Army.
Thank you.
Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman
Acting Director Army Public Relations

*sighs*... Why won't people burn robbers alive? When the people who call themselves "soldiers" are promoting this barbaric acts.
And after u pple will say amnesty intl are giving false information.. Imagine the rubbish they are saying, report to appropriate authorities so u can jst brush it aside without doing anything.. This shouldn't even be the last of it, this matter must be followed up to the last!! All dis impunity must stop!!
Okponu so Nigerian Army fit write professional statement like this. No denial, straight up acceptance and action.
Na dem sabi
Change is here, it will no longer be business as usual.
Couldn't get myself to look at the picture, it was so disgusting, a mockery of humanity.
I'm happy with the military reaction to the incident.

Abeg! It's gud hear. They should be exposing them here.
And if they see Boko Haram boys, they'll run away
Typical of African soldiers, but what do you expect when illiterates are clothed in uniform and given a gun to play with all in d name of being a soldier. This photo is just one out of thousands similar acts that happens every day in this country. It's only God that will help us
It Seems you re mad.
I saw them first hand on sat. Twas a disturbing sight. I really hope those behind this are punished. This is too much.
Armies??????
Hah!!!
Complete and utter rubbish! If this had not been captured they would have sworn that it never happened. If not for the fact that we have some gallant boys fighting the insurgency.......
Dats wa dey said
End of story. Nothing will ever happen to the soldiers. It's their way. There is nothing we won't see. If the army will hide a retired General and former president's certificate, the society should expect much more.
Nigerian military men take laws into their hand.....many of them r sadists www.iwonpopular.com
