The Nigerian Army has been accused of brutalizing youths in Nde village, Ikom LGA, Cross Rivers state, for protesting against cattle grazing in their farmland.
About 10 youths of Nde Community in Ikom Local Government Area, Cross River State were brutalized by soldiers, prompting residents and monarchs to cry out to the military and state government for help.
Community members claimed that the youths “pleaded with the herdsmen” to leave their land after their cattle destroyed almost all their products.
Consequently, soldiers allegedly arrived in the community and beat up their youths for asking the herdsmen to leave.
“The herdsmen then went to Edor Army Barracks which is about three kilometers away to report that youths of Nde attacked them and sent them away from the Community.
“Soldiers from the barracks came in truckloads on Sunday, rounded up youths and took them to the barracks, flogged them severely, leaving them injured.
“Our community is currently on fire as military men dehumanized the youths with the intent to provoke us but we pleaded with the herdsmen to leave our land after destroying our crops to avoid further attacks,” a villager said.
