“The Chief of Army Staff has directed an investigation into the matter. But we have not been able to ascertain the veracity of the video now because we were not privileged or privy to the incident that led to the altercation

So I can’t make further comments other than the fact that the Chief of Army Staff has directed that it should be investigated. You know you can have a video of where there was an exchange but we don’t know what led to the exchange.

Maybe when the army hears from the major general, then we will know what actually transpired. So right now, the Chief of Army Staff has directed that we should investigate it.

The viral video has gotten many Nigerians reacting to why the army would do such a thing to someone who hasn’t committed any crime.

Popular Twitter person @Daniel_Regha also reacted to the video “-“You know you can have a video of where there was an exchange but we don’t know what led to the exchange”. Imagine such a statement; Should an officer in uniform be seen assaulting anyone in the first place? If the tables were turned will this statement or excuse be coming from the Nigerian Army? This is absurd.”

Whatever happened prior to that, a soldier employed by the government to protect the country shouldn’t be treating a citizen in such a way but this is Nigeria where everything is upside down

Thank God for social media, just imagine a place where there is no phone to capture that moment and post online, that man would have been bull!ed like that. Same thing they do at checkpoints.
