Nigerian soldiers allegedly flogged an elderly woman, a food seller, to death recently in Nasarawa state, North-Central Nigeria, for allegedly violating the lockdown order in the state, according to a report by a non-government organisation.Additional information provided on Sunday evening to PREMIUM TIMES by the spokesperson of CLEEN Foundation, Anna White-Agbo, has it that the incident happened in the morning of May 11 in Tammah area of Nasarawa Local Government Area, Nasarawa State.
Army spokesperson, Sagir Musa, did not respond to text message and phone calls seeking comment on the report. The report by CLEEN, signed by its Executive Director, Benson Olugbuo, also tracked citizen’s compliance with government directives regarding the lockdown, the use of face mask, social distancing, ban on public gathering, and the ban on inter-state travel.Nigerians were travelling across various states in the country in violation of the ban on interstate travel, and despite the presence of security officials on the nation’s highways.
The report quoted the COVID-19 taskforce in Imo State as saying that 96 passengers travelling from Abia State were intercepted and tested for COVID-19 before they were allowed to continue on their journey, and that when the test result came out later, 25 of them tested positive. “Our observers have reported that burial and marriage ceremonies were held in many communities, while religious activities also held in the rural and suburban places like Kwande, Agatu, Okpokwu, Ogbadibo, Vandeikya and Guma LGAs of Benue State despite the State government’s decision to reverse its lift on the ban on religious activities.
