Nigerian Soldiers Invade Residence Of Retired Army Officer, Evict Family After Brutalising Wife, ChildrenThe soldiers were reportedly about 40 in number and from the 82 Division Enugu. They allegedly stormed the residence of the retired officer at 1:15 am on Wednesday.
Addressing journalists, Colonel Ugwuoke disclosed that the property had been monetised to him by its owner, 'Enugu state government', adding that he has the necessary papers but the GOC refused to attend to him concerning the acquisition of the property. "I wrote several applications to the state government and in 2013, the then governor, Sullivan Chime approved my application. I couldn't further the process because I was away until 2015 and that was in a critical period when attention was drawn to politics only. When the new governor came, he said I should hold on, and that there were a series of committees to verify those things, which eventually ended and I was given papers for the apartment.
"As I travelled to the village for burial yesterday, April 11, by 1:15 am this morning, April 12, my daughter called me because my wife was not around, she was in the hospital and my daughter said that about 40 soldiers invaded our house and tried to forcefully open the door before my house help opened the door. They were harassing and beating my children, telling them to park their things.
When asked if he had reached out to the state government regarding the claims made by the army, he said the state government was surprised at the claims made by the army when he reported the situation to it.
Sounds unreal.,..
He needs a lawyer...very simple ..
You are supposed spends 35 years in service, i believe at 30 years you should be planning your exit. We failed to plan in this country .
Na Turn by turn, he's crying for help now, he was once in their shoes, dealt with people wrongly then. Those in the service now will cry for help too in the Future. What goes around comes around.
It's the normal drill in the barracks. To avoid this embarrassment & shame when in service, learn to rent a house for your Family outside the Barracks. Live within your means & such affliction shall not happen. Na shame dey shame for Dem. Nothing new.
Are they tasting what is normally gifted to Nigerian citizens?
Such public embarrassment can never happen to Biafran who sacrifice he/her life to defend Biafra land.There must be a special place prepared for them and their family in future Zoo Nig have happened to him, in his next life, he can never wish his enemies one nig. God bless Biafra
It is sad how southerners are treated in affairs of this country, especially for a man who have spent most of his service yrs in BHT den, haven completed his years in service with extra consulting for NA, suddenly get forced out of a house that was monitized to him and paid for
You want to use the man's house as a guest house forcefully. Nigeria is indeed a lawless country
Life na turn by turn, worst things might come on u wen ur time reach
This article is not about vacating barracks, you people should learn to read first before commenting.
Nigeria has happened to him..
This is Nigeria for you
After serving his country! Tomorrow you wonder why this generation can not recite the national anthem. Who Nigeria epp? 😏
Where are the wife and children?🤣
Nigerians truly don’t read. Gosh!!
Evicting is ok but brutalizing is wrong on all aspect.
That’s why sowore said they should abolish this living in the barracks system. It makes most retired soldiers homeless
Dat is good news
Serve Nigeria and come back in shame. - Mazi Nnamdi Kanu
Half story
Na so them dey do for army? Nawa oooo that means no respect serving the country
Life na turn by turn
HQNigerianArmy In a sane country this should never happen. Shamefully disrespecting a Veteran and his family. If there is any issue at all as regards illegal occupancy of a property, then the court should pass a judgement. The whirlwind will hit when you least expect.
Na family issue
Those talking about vacating the barracks, did you read the article?
Serves him so right
Nigeria has happened to him 😁☝🏾
How about paying their gratuity ontime so they can pay for a place without embarrassing them
Barracks issue; normal
Zoo
If the meat is big....i will divide it into two price for them....but if it's not shareable then I will eat it and apologise for not having meat left but will served their food with chilled 5AliveNG puppy or berryblast
E no quick pack from barracks abi? Na normal thing. Barrack space is limited, so before dem transfer you or retire you, someone is already waiting to chase you with broom.
