A man, Mr. Daniel Owie, who was allegedly brutalised and shot in the leg by some soldiers in Benin, is crying over the inhumane treatment he is receiving from the Nigerian Army.
In a petition to the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, the victim appealed to him to investigate the alleged murder attempt on his life and the breach of his fundamental human rights by a group of soldiers led by a yet to be identified captain in Benin.
In the petition forwarded by his counsel, Mr. Benjamin Iluobe, Owie called on the IGP to direct the Edo State Commissioner of Police, Mr. Chris Ezike, to thoroughly investigate the abuse of power by the Army Captain and his soldiers.
Mr. Owie is currently chained to the bed allegedly on the orders of the Army Captain is receiving treatment at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital (UBTH) with 2 soldiers watching over him.
