VIDEO: NSCDC Officers Flog Woman and Family in Ekiti Over Business Dispute

Residents of Ekiti State have expressed outrage over the alleged brutality of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) officers against a woman and her family in Ikere-Ekiti.

The incident was reported on X (formerly Twitter) by @EkitiBabyGov, who shared a video of the officers flogging the woman.

According to the user, the officers belonged to the Counter Terrorism Unit (CTU) of the NSCDC and they were acting on behalf of another woman who had a business dispute with the victim.

The user said the NSCDC officers were notorious for illegal roadblocks, personal vendettas, and profiling people as Yahoo boys.

The user narrated how the officers arrested the woman’s children when they did not find her at home and how they dragged her out when she returned.

The user said the officers almost killed the woman and her husband with their beatings and one of them hit her with the butt of his gun.

The user said they were tired of receiving calls of misconduct from the NSCDC officers and demanded justice for the woman and her family.

“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.

“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.”
