Man Beaten By Army Cadets For ‘Complimenting A Female Cadet’ Tells His Own Side Of The Story

Mr. Amari, who hails from Opoko local government area of Benue State, said he had reported the assault to the cadets’ director, a retired military officer, who told him nothing could be done since his attackers were military cadets.

The Nigerian Defense Academy (NDA) in Kaduna has issued a series of tweets claiming that the assault happened in Lagos while the cadets were on break, adding that the affected cadets would be punished.

The NDA did not respond to emails from SaharaReporters seeking information on the identities of the cadets who took part in the horrifying beating of Mr. Amari.

There appears to be different accounts of what happened. The man is saying one thing and the NDA is saying another. But one thing that can be agreed upon is that the man was beaten.

  1. The last part of this post which says “one thing that can be agreed upon is that the man was beaten” got me laughing unstoppable. In my humble opinion, the Nigerian army should not override the civilians mostly all the time.
