In a shocking turn of events in Lagos, a Chinese national has been accused of instructing a Nigerian soldier to brutalize two local workers for allegedly attempting to access the back cabin of his Toyota Hilux.
The incident, which reportedly occurred in a bustling area of the city, has drawn widespread condemnation and calls for justice.
Eyewitnesses claim the workers, who were attempting to carry out their duties, were confronted aggressively by the soldier on the orders of the expatriate.
The violent encounter left the victims with injuries, sparking outrage among locals who condemned the abuse of power and questioned the soldier’s role in the incident.
Authorities have yet to comment on the allegations, but human rights advocates have called for a thorough investigation, urging the government to ensure accountability for such actions. “This behavior undermines the integrity of our armed forces and violates the rights of Nigerian citizens,” one activist remarked.
The incident highlights growing tensions over alleged mistreatment of local workers by expatriates in Nigeria and the perceived misuse of military personnel for personal matters.
