Soldiers on Thursday inflicted corporal punishment on a local government chairman in Borno State.
The caretaker chairman of Hawul Local Government Area, Daniel Malang, received severe corporal punishment in the hands of the Joint Task Force for allegedly breaking checkpoint regulations and talking rudely to soldiers.
Mr. Malang, who reportedly has a reputation for breaking traffic rule especially at military check post ran out of luck when he attempted to shunt his way across a long queue of vehicles along Maiduguri-Biu road.
A news reporter who witnessed the incident heard the chairman telling the soldiers that “don’t you know me? I am the executive chairman of Hawul local government.”
A soldier, unimpressed with Mr. Malang’s statement responded by saying “does this place resemble Hawul local government; even if na Hawul be this, does that give you the license to break my order by not following the queue?”
The soldier ordered the council boss to park his Peugeot 406 car and asked him to come out for frog-jump alongside his driver while other motorists watched on.
The soldiers kept the chairman there for hours before he was later freed with a stern warning not to repeat such act again.
Sources close to the chairman said he recently suffered similar fate in Biu when soldiers gave him a similar treatment for breaking check-post regulation.
Borno is currently under emergency rule and has a heavy presence of soldiers to check the insurgency by the Boko Haram and other crimes. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteI love the military for one thing - discipline. If not for the corrupt generals who normally occupy the highest office during military regimes, the soldiers should be better to handle and change things in Nigeria.

Brutality,the only language most Africans understand. Lawlessness is a common trend among our elites & those in power as most of them believe they're above the law. Uncivilized people dominate our ruling class. That's our major problem in this country. Physical fights other forms of exhibition of uncivilized attitudes in our various legislative houses(federal & state). We need to be more scrutinous in the selection processes for our different leaders. Past records play no role in our electoral & our accreditation procedures as you find ex-criminals in our political rank & file. May be we're just going to accept military rule once more if nothing is done to sanitize our democracy. It may sound bitter but remains a reality if nothing reasonable is done.
