He had gone to visit a relative at Okpara waterside in Ethiope Local Government Area of the state when he was attacked by the soldiers.

It was gathered that the soldiers dumped the lawyer in a gutter, where they ostensible left him to bleed to death.

A source, who witnessed the incident, narrated that trouble started when one of the soldiers approached and ordered Ekwe to follow him into a dark place where four other soldiers were waiting.



The lawyer, sensing danger, refused to follow the soldier.

The refusal of the lawyer to follow the soldier drew the attention of the four other soldiers, who emerged from the dark and joined their colleague to beat Ekwe.

Ekwe’s close friend, Mr. Omes Ogedengbe, who confirmed the incident on Sunday, said the victim also sustain injures in his head and was lying critically ill at undisclosed hospital.

Ogedengbe, a lawyer and the National Coordinator, Conference for the Actualisation of Human Rights, called on the Nigerian Army to ensure that justice was served in the case.

Since the Army has formed the habit of listening to all these false stories and punishing it soldiers then we shud expect more of these. The soldier just saw the man and ordered him to go wit him to a dark place for no just cause? They beat him to coma yet he managed to recover  & posed in his car wit a cap covering his for pix? U must be kidding me
