Pictures: Soldiers Plucks off Eye of Road Safety Officer For Challenging Them
An official of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Segun Enikuemehin, who dared to ask some military men who were assaulting a civilian to desist from such a dastardly act is currently at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) with one of his eyes totally damaged.
According to Sahara Reporters, the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon when Mr. Enikuemehin came upon the military men beating a harmless civilian.
According to Sahara Reporters, the incident occurred on Sunday afternoon when Mr. Enikuemehin came upon the military men beating a harmless civilian.
Convinced that the military officials would beat the man to death if nothing was done, he reportedly walked up the angry soldiers and pleaded that they let the man go or hand him over to the police if he had done something illegal.
The military men would not take such effrontery lightly as they descended on the Good Samaritan and started beating him as well.
But not even the beating from the soldiers would discourage him, and he
managed amidst his own beating to rescue the already battered man, whom
he then took to the Adekunle Police station at Ebute Metta.
Thereafter, Mr. Enikuemehin led the police back to the venue of the
incident. Upon sighting him in the company of the policemen, the
soldiers, who were by that time already cooling off at a nearby beer
parlor, became even enraged and descended on Mr. Enikuemehin, during
which they eye was plucked out.
The damaged eye was reportedly
picked from the ground and the man rushed down to the General Hospital.
Rejected upon arrival by that hospital, the blinded man reportedly
asked that he be taken to LUTH.
Meanwhile, the soldiers, upon
realizing what they had done, were said to have taken to their heels but
were overtaken by residents and handed over to the police.
The
story got messier when a relative of the stabbed Federal Road Safety
Officer went back to the police station only to find that the military
men had already been released by the police. While still digesting that
development, one of the accused soldiers walked into the station in the
company of a senior officer who was identified as Captain Okoli.
Speaking to SaharaReporters, Mr. Enikuemehin’s Uncle, Prince Ojatunwse
Oluwajoba, said the DPO of Adekunle Police Station informed him when he
got there that the soldier who stabbed his nephew had been handed over
to the military authorities. He said that soldier, who had been in
civilian clothes when the incident happened, arrived at the police
station with Captain Okoli to collect his identity card and other
personal effects that had been taken from him at the station.
According to Mr. Oluwajobaa, doctors at LUTH are now saying his nephew’s
left eye has been completely damaged and that the second eye might be
affected as well if proper medical care is not given.
