The soldier pictured below flogged this igbo woman on her way to onitsha to see her people...... lets hear her story
CRY OF HELP!
'Please my good people of our nation, i am
sincerely calling out for justice against violence. I am hospitalized right now
as i type this with the lil stamina in me; i am in serious pain and agony; in
between life and death. This is my story:
This morning, at about 11.50am, i boarded a sienna vehicle leaving PortHarcourt for Onitsha. As we approached the first
checkpoint immediately after the airport, we pulled over as the soldiers
ordered us to, for the usual scrutinization.
SULAIMAN OLAMILEKAN
One of them, the youngest of them, by name,
SULAIMAN OLAMILEKAN, began to molest me. He accused me of discussing him, where
i was only having a friendly debate with the lady beside me about whether his
car is tinted or not bcos of the way the we where being delayed bcos the driver
didn't bring the back glass down when he stopped us immediately he was like
'hey you wetin you just talk now' I explained to him that he was never in the
picture of the gist but he ignored me and demanded i disembark from the
vehicle, kneel down and apologies to him.
I called his bluff and explained to him that i
did nothing wrong to apologize. To my greatest dismay, this dude went in search
of any object at his disposal (a huge stick), and started hitting it all over
my body. He shove me out of the vehicle and when he pieces the stick on me he
went in search of another thing and he came back with a big rod immediately I
saw him coming with that one and I noticed everyone was already scared to come
closer also his colleagues were just there busy with the stopping of other
vehicles I ran out of the vehicle and jumped down wanted to run over to the
other lane to where their ogas used to stay but on a second thought I sensed he
might throw the big rod on me I then stood still not believing he could
actually used that on me b4 I knew it he started hitting my two leg with it
I was helpless as my fellow passengers were
scared to intervene, the others (soldiers) disengaged him from hitting me
further but they did not reprimand/reprove him. Instead, they confiscated my phone
and prevented me from taking pictures of any of them my phone's screen is in
pieces now. When i told them that i would nolonger proceed with the journey,
they restrained me from going back to Porthacourt by compelling the driver to
embark on our journey to (Onitsha) with me.
The driver drove off to some distance away
from there, and i alighted from the vehicle and boarded another one heading
back to Porthacourt. The passengers in the bus were astonished at the injuries
i sustained from the brutality. They sympathized with me and advised me to take
the matter up. Even the new driver confirmed Ola to be a ruthless soldier as he
has had an encounter like that with him before.
As soon as we arrived Porthacourt, i went
straight to the Army Barracks to file a report about him. I narrated the whole
story to them. The soldiers and the superiors there, were astonished at the
cruel act and were sympathizing with me and pleaded that i shouldn't take the
case any further; that the Ola dude would be remanded for one month in the
barracks there (which i feel is not enough justice)they said he just joined
then in the yr 2015
I was quickly attended to and was taken to
their clinic for treatment. They summoned for Ola, the dude was very shocked
that the case had gotten here already. To God be the glory, he confessed
correctly that i didn't do anything to have warranted his cruel action that he
was in a very bad mood He said what happened there was inexplicable. This time,
he genuflected and implored for compassion. He took my number when I was giving
it to the nurse for my admission at the hospital an whatsapped me to forgive
him and not take things seriously. (This was how i tracked his identity on True
caller.)
Right now i am bedridden. The doctor said i am
running temperature due to my high blood pressure. I am in serious pain and
rendered partially immoveable. How do i explain this uncomely incidence to my
family in Onitsha whom i was supposed to meet with? Here are the pictures of
what happened in the scene including the picture of the violator and the rod he
used You can access him with his facebook addy, "Sulaiman
Olamilekan".
Please Help! Help me reach out to anybody in
authority, who can fight this violence. Violence is indeed a cankerworm that
has eaten us deep into every fabric of the Nigerian Army Force. Soldiers fight
and protect their own, not to destroy the innocent civilians.
