A Nigerian soldier, who had violated traffic rules, has been caught viciously assaulting an armless civilian on a street in Lagos.
According to an eyewitness, the solider had blocked the way for other road users, deliberately hit the car of the victim, before he and his partners stepped out of their vehicle to beat him up.
The lady who recorded the inhuman act could be heard screaming in disbelieve and reiterating that the victim had done nothing wrong.
However, the uniformed men proceeded to brutalize the middle-aged man, booting him repeatedly in the process.
On the post where the video was shared, the caption reads “This happened around 5:16 p.m. on Moloney Street, Lagos Island opposite the Police Office/Kam Salem house. We were on the right side of the road coming from Obalende but had to stop as there was an oncoming vehicle in our way. This vehicle should have been on the left side.
“We hooted several times but the vehicle refused to move. We then heard other disgruntled drivers murmur, ‘na soldier oh’ and so we reversed in an attempt to wriggle our way out peacefully.
“But to our surprise, the soldier reversed and intentionally drove forward to hit our car. These videos show the altercation right from when we were wrongly hit.”
