See What Happened to Soldiers Who Brutalized Crippled Man In Anambra

The soldiers, whose identities are yet to be disclosed by the Army, had also been discharged from their unit and summoned to the 82 Division, Enugu State.

They had meted out heavy beating on the physically challenged man for wearing a military camouflage shirt.

However, in a statement, the division spokesperson, Colonel Sagir Musa, who is also the Deputy Director, Army Public Relations, said:

“The soldiers have been tried at the unit level in Onitsha, and referred to the higher level for appropriate punishment commensurate with the offence committed. The victim has also been invited and he will meet with us on Friday. We also have a press conference where the issue will be discussed in detail. Whatever human rights infraction is seen with our men, appropriate sanctions will be applied to serve as deterrence to others. This case will not be an exception.”
