Woman Beaten Mercilessly by Soldiers, Now Hospitalized

Some soldiers on Monday assaulted a married woman, Joy Agboghide, for allegedly obstructing traffic on Forestry Lane in Benin City, Edo State.

The incident occurred at 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.

Joy Agboghide, who later spoke to Punch, said, “I went to Lagos Street to get some food items. So, I passed through Forestry (Lane) to the road beside former NEPA. As I was going, the driver of the vehicle in front of me and some traders around told me to stop. I stopped and about four vehicles passed. Later, the traders told me to go.

“As I moved on, a soldier told me to reverse and I explained that I had waited for some vehicles to pass. But he said, ‘Do you know who you are talking to? Reverse!’ Before I knew it, he used his gun to hit my windscreen.

“I came out and asked him what I had done and he said I should wait. He went into the BEDC premises and came out with some soldiers who descended on me.

“He said they should clear me off the road. But as he tried to enter his vehicle, I pulled him and told him to pay for the damage done to my car.”

She alleged that she was also assaulted by a woman said to the wife of the officer.

She added that, “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, said the officer involved was not in the Army. “He is a Nigerian Air Force officer. But we are investigating.”

NYSC Member Working for INEC in Rivers State Killed

INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner in Rivers State, Mr Aniedi Ikoiwak, has confirmed that the electoral officer for Ikwerre who was earlier declared missing during the Rivers rerun election has been found alive.

Mr Osifo Osaze is reported to have been attacked by gunmen who opened fire on his vehicle but he managed to escape his assailants into the bush.

The REC told Channels that Mr Osaze was found with bullet wounds and has been taken to hospital.

Sadly, a Youth Corps member working as ad hoc INEC official was killed during violence at a polling unit in Ahoada West area.

Mr Ikoiwak said that further announcements on the polls will be made in due course.

INEC had suspended further activities in the Rivers State rerun elections following the violent incidents that trailed the conduct of the polls.

The case of Rivers State is really becoming something else, with guns in the hands of youths who use it anyhow for their political godfathers and in open show of force against innocent citizens.

UPDATE: INEC Suspends Bloody Rivers Election

INEC is overwhelmed just because the principle political actors have refused to play by the rules...
The Independent National Electoral Commission has suspended further action on Rivers rerun elections into the National Assembly and the House of Assembly across the state.

It said it decided to take the action because several permanent and ad hoc officials had been attacked. In fact, some INEC officials were abducted and taken to unknown destinations by armed political thugs.

The electoral agency said the tense atmosphere had only enabled it to collate and declare results in only one Federal and nine state constituencies.

But the suspension does not affect the constituencies where the process has been completed and the results declared by the Returning Officers.

A statement by INEC’s Director, Voter Education and Publicity, Mr. Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, said:

“Pursuant to the Orders of the Court of Appeal, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) conducted elections into various seats in the National and the Rivers State House of Assembly yesterday, the 19th of March, 2016.

“Rather unfortunately, some of these elections witnessed the disruption of the process, including the barricading of some of the INEC Local Government offices and Registration Area Centres (RACs) used for the distribution of Electoral materials which led to the late commencement of the exercise in some places and consequently, its smooth take off.

“Of more serious concern was the level of threats, violence and intimidation of election officials and voters by well armed thugs and miscreants allegedly acting on behalf of some politicians, which marred the elections in some areas.

“There were reports of numerous attacks resulting in fatalities, kidnappings, ballot snatching, diversion of officials and materials, amongst others, which necessitated its suspension in 8 Local Government Areas.

“Regrettably, such deviant behaviour has continued today. Several permanent and ad hoc staff engaged have been attacked, again resulting in fatalities, while some have been forcibly abducted and taken to presently unknown destinations.

“Under such difficult circumstance, the Returning Officers were only able to collate and declare results in 1 Federal and 9 State constituencies where the disruption and malpractices were not so widespread.

“Having reviewed the situation, the Commission is compelled to suspend all further action concerning the exercise in all the other constituencies in the State pending the receipt of a comprehensive report from its Field Officials and Monitors.

“For the avoidance of doubt, it should be noted that the suspension does not affect the constituencies where the exercise has been completed and the results declared by the Returning Officers.”
