Soldiers of the 32 Artillery Brigade, Nigerian Army, Owena Cantonment, Akure have been alleged to have brutalised a staff of the Nigerian Television Authority (NTA) Jide Bello on Wednesday.
The victim who posted on his Facebook account shortly after the incident recounted his ordeal .
Bello said “My unfortunate experience tonight in the hands of Nigerian army along ondo road after the evening news at exactly 1950hrs in the name of curfew declared by Ondo state government led by Mr. Oluwarotimi Akeredolu .
They asked for my identification in which I obliged but education is key in any field we belong, very unfortunate the military man could not understand what I mean by NTA and could not read anything from the I.D card but thank God for a superior officer that later intervened and begged me but am looking out to sue Nigerian army and Oñdo State government for harassment.
Am hereby subjecting myself to 14days isolation because I don’t know what they might done to my health.
His Facebook friends have however been reacted to his post.
The Nigerian Army is yet to react to the allegations against its officers as of the time of filing this report.
