See How Soldiers Beat A Woman And Damaged Her Car For Obstructing Traffic

Soldiers on Monday  assaulted a motorist, Joy Agboghide, for allegedly obstructing traffic  on Forestry Lane, Benin, Edo State.

It was learnt  that the incident occurred at about 4pm in front of the headquarters of the Benin Electricity Distribution Company.
It was learnt that an  officer, a Major, was   said to have  emerged from the premises of the  company and instructed the woman to reverse her vehicle in order to ease traffic on the narrow road.

Sources said  Agboghide, a mother of six, however, explained that she had initially allowed about five vehicles to go  due to the indiscriminate parking of vehicles on the road.

An argument was said to have ensued between the soldier and the 51-year-old woman, after the army officer  insisted that she must reverse her vehicle.
The major, who   was said to have been angered  by the development, returned  to the BEDC  premises.

 The source said he later returned with   some soldiers said to be attached to the BEDC and  allegedly ordered them to beat  the woman up.
She was said to have been rushed to the Central Hospital in Benin where was receiving treatment as of the time of filing this  report.

Agboghide alleged  that she was also assaulted by a woman said to  the wife of the officer.
She said,  “As the man jumped inside his vehicle and tried to drive off, I hit his windscreen. He came down and damaged my windscreen and  the rear screen.
“Suddenly,  he came out with a whip and beat me. The lady inside the vehicle also sprayed tear gas into my eyes.”

 Spokesman for the 4 Brigade Command of the Nigerian Army, Captain Jonah Unuakhalu, told Punch correspondent that  the  officer involved was not in the Army.“He is a Nigerian Air Force officer. But we are investigating,” Unuakhalu said.”

Lets stop being sentimental and emotional. Both of them were wrong. Where in the world is it written that a woman must display sarcasm, be strong headed, stubborn and fight back by hitting a car? I am a woman and I know how some of us behave on wheels. I'm guilty of this sometimes. The officer on the other hand has no right or whatsoever to hit her. Its even an offense to fight or display  mad attitude while in uniform and that is what most people don't know. Its a sack-able offense. All these would have been avoided if the woman has worked on her patient and allow him to pass afterall she had allowed five to do same. Sometimes, you allow the devil to just go with his evil just for peace to reign and not because you are weak. Ok see now, both of them will have cases to answer at the station. Work, business and family will suffer a set back......its not worth it at all.
