AMARACHI OKEH writes on the rampant misuse of military power by personnel, leading to tragic civilian deaths and human rights violations

On January 11, 2024, a gory video surfaced online showing two army officers torturing a half-naked man in Rivers State.

In the video, the brutalised youth is heard shouting and pleading with the soldiers, promising to confess, but the soldiers continue manhandling him, even kicking him with their boots.

Reacting swiftly to the video, Lieutenant Colonel Jonah Danjuma, acting Deputy Director of 6 Division Army Public Relations, released a statement condemning the act.
