Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Local vigilante operatives attached to Anambra State Commissioner for Homeland Security, Hon Chikodi Anarah, have brutalized a commercial tricycle (Keke) operator in Awka.<\/p>\n

Colleagues of the victim, who protested in Awka, said the tricyclist was beaten mercilessly.<\/p>\n

According to them, the windshield of his Keke was shattered by the security operatives, who also punctured the tricycle\u2019s tyres with bullets.<\/p>\n

Narrating his ordeal in a viral video, the Keke driver said his offence was that he overtook the vehicle carrying the commissioner in a tight corner because of an incoming articulated vehicle.<\/p>\n

The unnamed tricyclist said, \u201cI had to take the action to overtake the commissioner\u2019s vehicle to avoid possible accident because of the incoming articulated vehicle in a very tight corner.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised when the commissioner\u2019s boys descended on me and rough handled and shot at my Keke.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is coming barely two months after security operatives attached to another of Soludo\u2019s aides, Ossy Onuko, who is the Managing Director of Awka Capital Territory Development Agency, beat up a GUO Motors driver, who was coming from Lagos, for overtaking their convoy.<\/p>\n

One of the protesters, Sunday Okagu, said, \u201cThe action of the vigilante operatives was an unwarranted and unprovoked aggression.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe call on the Anambra State Government to ensure that they only release guns and ammunition to people who are mentally capable of handling such and not to trigger-happy youths who did not have any form of professional training.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another protester, who refused to disclose his name, added, \u201cVigilante operatives attached to Igba ka Igba Amanuke (the commissioner) usually behaved like cultists on rampage.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis man did not do anything to warrant the kind of beating they have given to him.\u201d<\/p>\n
