No fewer than 39 soldiers have attacked a
community in Makurdi, the Benue state capital in
fight over a lady married out to a community
member.
The Nation reports that the soldiers from the
Nigeria Army School of Military Engineering
(NASME) laid siege on the community in the
north bank area of Makurdi, where they
vandalised not less than 200 vehicles and stole
mobile phones, TV set, radio and other personal
effects belonging to the residents.
The soldiers were also alleged to have raped
some women, although this claim could not be
ascertained by the Nation’s correspondent who
was on ground, but it was confirmed that the
Divisional Police Officer (DPO) Samuel Attah, was
beaten up in the process and his new Toyota
Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) was also smashed.
