BECAUSE of the sheer ugliness of the event we are commenting on today, we shall start with its only positive. When, on the morning of Saturday December 5, at Oju-Ore, Sango-Ota area of Ogun State, a soldier whose identity is yet to be ascertained apprehended a young woman and proceeded to strip her naked well, just it was a group of onlookers, astonished by what they were witnessing, who came to the lady’s rescue.
From the amateur 46-second video of the event now posted across various online platforms, we see at first the soldier pulling the young woman by her long braids, and in short order we see a clutch of people, women and men, imploring him to stop. One of them, conscious perhaps of numerous stories of trigger-happy soldiers retaliating against civilians who had apparently shot first, has his hands in the air throughout. We applaud these brave Nigerians and hold them up as an exemplar of much needed civic vigilance against impunity.
