After a man named Joseph Pessu was killed in Ugbuwangue, Delta state for disobeying the lockdown order, youths in the area attacked soldiers on April 2.
Following the attack, two soldiers in Warri were filmed threatening to rape women and girls as retaliation. They promised to infect them with HIV and stated that the act would be done without protection.
Segun Awosanya, also known as Segalink, a human rights activist, condemned the video and stated that an investigation is ongoing. He assured that the perpetrators would be arrested before the end of the day.
He expressed his disapproval, saying, “This is barbaric and unprofessional. Needless to say that investigation is ongoing and these miscreants will be arrested before end of day. The @HQNigerianArmy is an institution & with the cooperation of the public it will not be denigrated by cancerous nodes such as this.”
