The tunes are familiar. Across our beautiful motherland, rascals are beating the drums of hooliganism and gangsterism. The armed forces which is adept as this were again asked to pay an exemplary fine for brutality. This time they shifted their criminality down south were the crime of their victim was for asking an innocuous question. The law lecturer at the gate of navy barracks asked a navy rating if guests at an expected wedding would be permitted to pack their cars along the road. The rating perhaps felt insulted that a bloody civilian had the nerve to ask him a stupid question right at the barracks gate. He dragged the lecturer out from his car and hit him with the butt of his gun. The man passed out that wasn't the end of his ordeal, other naval personnels poured out to hit and whip him with belts. When other citizens expressed fears that the man might be killed, they were also attacked by the 'gallant' men of the disciplined force. It is a good thing that the honourable judge of the high court has awarded N150 million damages to the man. The judge lamented that Nigerians are gradually becoming endangered species in their own country.
