Six soldiers who allegedly brutalized a woman in Ikorodu leaving her with unimaginable degree of injuries have been arrested.
Ruth Orji was brutalized by Nigerian soldiers
Six Nigerian soldiers have been arrested and detained for allegedly brutalizing a woman in Ikorodu area of Lagos state.
We had earlier reported
that the woman identified as Ruth Orji was allegedly attacked by
soldiers attached to 174 Battalion, Ikorodu, around 8:30pm on Sunday
leaving her with horrible injuries. Joint Legal Action Aids, the rights
group representing her, has demanded N250 million compensation and punishment meted out to the soldiers.
The army has reacted to the story in a press statement by Acting
Deputy Director Army Public Relations, Lieutenant Colonel OM Daudu.
Here is the press release:
ALLEGED CASE OF BRUTALLIZATION BY SOLDIERS
1. The attention of Headquarters 81 Division Nigerian Army has
been drawn to the social media and Newspapers online reports on “Alleged
brutalization of a female by soldiers”.
The incident occurred in Odoguyan, Ikorodu area of Lagos state involving soldiers of 174 Battalion on Sunday 12 March 2017.
2. The alleged incident is highly regrettable, even as the
Division under the Nigerian Army has zero tolerance for inhuman
treatment. Discipline remains the bedrock of the Nigerian
Military Profession. It is quite disheartening when such incidences
occur even though isolated will not be treated with any laxity.
3. Consequently, a Board of Inquiry has been constituted by
the Commander 9 Brigade, Brigadier General Elias Attu to investigate the
circumstances that led to the incident, determine the level of the
soldiers involvement, submit its findings and recommend appropriate
disciplinary measures which will be communicated. The female has been
taken to hospital where she is responding to treatment while 6 soldiers
are being detained in regards to the incident.
4. Gentlemen of the press, may I thank you for your timely
information in bringing such incidences to fore. The Division remains
committed to its tasks as part of the constitutional mandate of the
Nigerian Army. It continues to enjoin all to be law abiding and count on
their support and cooperation.
5. You are please requested to disseminate the information to the general public.
