The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) in Ekiti has been dragged by residents of the state over an alleged brutality.
In a post published on X (formerly Twitter) by @EkitiBabyGov, the user decried the actions of Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) of the Corps who brutally assaulted a woman and her family in Ikere-Ekiti over business matters.
In the video posted by the User, the officers were seen mercilessly flogging the woman who allegedly failed to fulfill pledges of a business deal she had with another person.
He wrote: “I have not seen a brutish and undisciplined security agency like the Nigerian Civil Defence CTU department in Ekiti State @official_NSCDC from illegal road blocks to being used as agents in personal disputes.
Should I add the profiling of people in the name of being Yahoo boys???
“This is a scenario today in Ikere Ekiti where a woman brought them in to intervene in a business deal gone wrong with another woman.
“Imagine the civil defence officers arresting the woman’s kids when they didn’t meet her at home.
(Full eye witness report below.)
“Happened earlier today infront of our house in ikere,that woman had a business with another woman and the business didn’t go the way they wanted. The other woman brought these men.
“At first,the took the woman’s kids and those around had to call the woman to come home. See how they dragged her.
“They almost killed the woman and her husband today. No be small beating at all. One of them uses the gun bottom on her.
“Everytime we get calls of one misdemeanour or other from these officers.
“Enough is enough.”
