"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 siena 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.
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 apologise to him.
I called his bluff and explained to
him that i did nothing wrong to apologise. 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 piecesed 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
Portharcourt 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 Portharcourt. 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 Portharcour, 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.
