Army Reacts To Alleged Torturing of Civilian To Death | Daily Report Nigeria

The Nigerian Army has denied the alleged reports of a police officer’s son who was tortured to death by soldiers.

In a statement issued on Saturday by Onyema Nwachukwu Brigadier General, Director Army Public Relations, the report was described as false and a calculated attempt to tarnish the image and good works of military personnel.

According to the statement: “Incontrovertible evidence indicates that Christian Ehima wandered into a military checkpoint at Wire – Ake in Edo state on the 10 December 2021, without his clothes on, and was halted by soldiers on duty.

” He was interrogated but could not say anything meaningful on where he was coming from or heading .

”His behaviour was rather weird and indicative of one who was obviously under some sort of influence.

‘The Guard Commander, who observed his abnormal behavior, immediately requested for his phone in an effort to contact any of his relations, friends or associates. Shortly afterwards, a call came through to his phone and the caller identified herself as his mother.

“The soldier invited her to pick up her son, who was still very agitated and unstable.

“Subsequently, the woman arrived at the scene and identified herself as his mother and a police officer. She was briefed about her son’s observed abnormal behaviour.

” In her conversation with the soldiers, she attributed her son’s weird behaviour to the influence of alcohol.

” The soldiers, however, maintained that whatever was responsible for Christian’s behaviour at that time, was way beyond alcoholism. On sighting his mother his behavior aggravated.

” Thereafter, some passersby were mobilized to help her take him to the hospital.

“It is also important to state that the incident was recorded both on video and audio, showing the behaviour of Christian Ehima and his mother commending the soldiers for their kind intervention.

“The evidence, including audio recordings of the police officer and her son are attached.

“Surprisingly, this unfortunate incident has been falsely reported in the social media without recourse to the reality of what transpired on the said date.

“The general public are urged to disregard this misguided information, as it is clearly manipulative and evidently an attempt to bring disrepute to the NA,”
