Really sad. I think we need some civil disobidience of some sort to press the issue home to these goons that call themselves uniformed people that this lady's beating is one too many. The other day it was the clean and green execu-thief of Imo state and a lady with two kids. Now it is a Rear Animal with six drones against a lady.
Can we do something like maybe switch off all handsets for a day or just refuse to go to work for a day? At least something to make these bloody cowards know that the only thing that makes them powerful is the guns in their hands.

I salute Uzoma's courage. At least even though they beat her up, she gave them some resistance. They say she provoke them and then? Six men versus one girl, she still show them pepper. Who be goat wey them go beat, e go dey beg? You are the true daughter of your father.
Nkita lacha kwa fa nine anya! Ndi Ala.

And for the information idiot that does not know that information has gone beyond third party report, he should go to ireport and enjoy the show. My only prayer for all of them is that they will live long to see that kind of humilation come to their relation and decendants. Empty brained maggots. Nigerian Navy my foot!

All of us that drive in Lagos should really take up this issue with the lagos state government. If Gov Fashola who is in charge of the state does not use siren to harrass people, then I think other visitors or person that make use of it should be told to discontinue. The State Assembly people should stop this their Obama party and discuss issues that concerns us here in Lagos. Na so them go beat fashola wife or pickin one day. No be say na me talk am o!

dats sad
isnt there something anybody here can do?
we just read these things but we dont do anything about it.
if we keep waiting for others, nothing will be done

holy shit.

I cant believe my eyes. A woman for Bleep sakes, someones mother probably.
I am ashamed to call myself a Nigerian after watching that video. Couldnt they have left her just for the fact that she was a woman??
Imagine if it were to be a guy, They would probably have shot him in cold blood.
Is this really democracy?? And the president is yet to react to this, or hasnt he seen it?? They even have a name, someone to hold accountable.
This is just lagos o!, imagine the shit that goes down daily in the niger delta regions by these men.
I wonder if those savages have sisters or mothers.
I wouldnt treat my enemy that way, talk less of a woman.

We've all seen and condenmed the action of this naval ratings/rats/boys, but the biggest reproach should be reserved for their boss, Rear Admiral whatever his name. The naval ratings might have been acting to impress their boss, and if we need long term cure or prevention to similar incident in the future, there is no doubt that the boss ought to bear full responsibility for the action of his rats.

Arrgggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh. . . . . I'm mad as hell. . . . .stupid bastards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If given the opportunity they would have raped her as well. . . . . . . .damn lunatics. . . . .God will punish them. . . . .

Shudders!!! ughhhhhhhhh

The puzzling thing about it is that these monsters have wives, daughters and mothers at home. . . . . . . 

I'm truly ashamed to be a Nigerian.
anyone with a good copy of that clip ought to send it to CNN immediately
The animals need to be exposed to the world maybe only then will they start doing something.
Are these people gods such that we have to disappear when they're passing by?
May thhat Arongundade of a man have worse calamity befall him.

But why make I strip? It's just. . . .just inhumane

I wonder?
They beat her up then tear off her shirt on the street.
These people are animals
Like someone said,if the place was secluded they would have gang raped her
Savages

Lets send the video clips to all the TV houses in Lagos, Abuja and other parts of Nigeria including the NTA. NTA might not air it and a few other fearful media houses might not want to show it but some bold and anti-PDP stations like Channels and AIT maybe willing to show it.

are you serious, which tv station in nigeria is anti-pdp or govt, even if they are they will never show these things
I mean it happens almost everyday, if you notice it is only the PUNCH newspaper thats been following the news
_{Ait can't be anti-pdp it partly owned by many of them including odili}

i watch nta/ait today nothing!!!

The victim later told our correspondent on her hospital bed on the telephone that she was heading towards Mile 2 from the Lagos Island where she worked when the incident happened.

Okere, who claimed that she had a military background, said immediately she saw Arogundade’s convoy, she knew that a Rear Admiral was inside the car and she quickly gave way.

She said, ”We were all in the traffic. I heard a siren behind me. One of them came out to control the traffic. I was moving to the left when he suddenly pulled me out. They dragged me into the house tore my clothes. I was beaten up mercilessly. My head is really swollen with bruises all over me.”

She added that she managed to get her colleagues to call her father who works in Abuja to speak with the Rear Admiral on phone.

”My father spoke with the man on the phone later but he lied to him (her father) that I was fighting with his men. They would have beaten the two other ladies in my car like they did to my male colleagues if not for the fact that they are pregnant,” she added.

Okere said she had contacted a human rights lawyer who advised her not to report to any police station since the case involved a senior officer.

i hope the father is thinking of cold bloodied revenge on the rogues family!!

Wow, how cowardly of them to beat a hard working woman, for such a minute issue. I hope everyone involved in this is dealt with very severely and get jail time, this is unacceptable in these days.

Really, Those men are fools.

Who do they think they are, piece of sh**t. Idoitic idiots. That is why they dont die well-- it is always unknown diseases and sickness that will take their lives.

What sickens me the most is the ability of these bastards to commit crimes while 100 if not 1000s watch and not intervene.

SICK NATION.

its really suprising that most of the military officers that are on nairaland forum are yet to respond to this topic.

I sympathize with the lady in question for the assault/humiliation. however, i am skeptical to believeing that the ratings could just single her out for "no reason" as she claimed. Granted, the nigerian ratings/soldiers/airmen are mostly morons and zombies to whom, assaulting a "innocent" citizen (a woman for that) isnt wrong a thing to do but the conduct of the Admiral (a Senior OFFICER) is to say the least very ungentlemanly! My father retired from the Nigerian Army as a Colonel and i can bet my life that neither him nor any of his close friends that i know could have condoned such from their subordinates.
if it is established that there was indeed, an incident of provocation (grabbing of the rating's uniform and seizing their horsewhip as claimed by the naval spokes person), the ratings could have acted as they did but it is still not a justification on their part and on the Admiral's part.

This incident is saddening if the facts as the lady put it are correct.

The lady was not stripped, afterall her seemingly cute though smallish juizee borbby did not show and yu say she was stripped. Thats being unfair to the ratings and their boss and the enitire gentlemanly nigeria navy, more so when she only received a few slaps which was meant to help her regain her senses.

I was there and saw it live so twas really no big deal. Me thot there was a good show in the offing and i left disappointed for the cinema where i got some respite watching a really nice film.

i can imagine the lady screaming rants and curses at the admirals ancestry, cursing his guts and stabbing his "armed" ego. from the look of things in dat video, the lady looks very guilty, and resisting arrest. if not, im quite sure some responsible looking guys in that crowd would have calmed the officer. When she was eventually left alone, she wanted more!. democracy doesnt give you the liberty to misbehave. especially with armed men. shes lucky shes not a guy.

but still, for you 2 treat a woman like that. its sad. just tow d vehicle and let the lady b d fool

a

accentel:

his daugthers should show their father their unclothedness in protest. The Rear Admiral's wife should go to the street junction naked to protest this shame her husband has brought on her.

seems like u av a tyn 4 nudity. like its d ultimate show of shame

@paddymi I pray something like this happens to somebody you personally know and care for perhaps a girlfriend, sister, niece, mother etc then u will know how painful it is to joke about nasty stuff happening to other people,

I dont think they tow vehicles in 9ja.

Some body should sue these murderfuckers asses,why can't Gani take up the case?or is he really dead?There is enough evidence to bring them to book.

i wounder the kind of country we live, all the officer involve should be send to Nigerdelta to face the millitant alone if they can beat one of the millitant like that. should be given national award. but am so sure they will not come back, they can only terrorise the civillain, why are they not personally go and fight in nigerdelta instead of fighting the young lady. i here by sentenced them to life imprisonment with hard labour , court,

Democracy - Nigerian version.

All,

Why would not the general public move to the House of assembly to enact a law tha would illegalize the torture of a civilian. In America, people have made the house of assembly sign into law things that affected the civilains.

Women rights were signed into law as well and protected women. We are all cowards in this country. If the whole of Lagos make it a point of duty to outlaw torture of civilians and make the penalty a death sentence, then we would not witness this again.

This is why we all should stand up against the evils of the Government.

How can those thugs beat up a woman for that matter. Dont they have wives and daughters at home. This is the height of power abuse. Armed robbers everywhere and they waste their energy beating up a woman.

Well, y u go blame NAVAL officer wey dem don throway curse to am and im family, ? It's part of their growing up, so, !!!

Am sure we would have had a case of accidental gun discharge if it was a man involved.

Crazy God bless Naija

I don't care if the lady was at fault, but for trained armed men who are expected with a mandatory obligation of protecting the affairs of the country to start maltreating a WOMAN is barbaric, insane and outright madness. A total show of evil entrenched in the leaders we have in the Nigerian society. Oh well why bother, even Obasanjo has done worse things that what I saw in that video.

I remember in my earlier days in Uni while in Nigeria, at Ketu bus garage, early morning, there was this lady who got into a confrontation with a soldier in the bus I boarded with a friend of mine going to Abeokuta over who was going to sit by window side of the bus. Before we knew what was happening, the soldier gave the lady two heavy slaps (whai whai), everyone in the bus shouted on top of the soldier for hitting a woman, and begged the lady to leave the seat for the soldier to sit on and shifted for her to sit behind the soldier. Immediately the bus began the journey, this lady gave the soldier a very resounding and highly vibrating slap, I even thought the tyre of the bus had gone busted, only to realize it was a slap from the lady to the soldier, and lo and behold blood started spilling from the soldiers mouth.   The soldier could not do anything other than use his uniform to clean the blood off his mouth. Thank goodness there was no GSM in excess those days, we for receive the beating of our lives that early morning.


That said, I think with the power of the internet, much publicity can be raised about this matter. Whoever is that bastard of a rear admiral should be demoted from his rank, his naval thugs should be dealt with by ensuring that they are fired without pay. If Nigerians can raise noise about the attitude of British Airways, lets see how the attention of President Yaradull can help in this matter.

My one cent.

Jesus Wept!!!
