Soldiers pluck man's Eye Out.

A Federal Road Safety Corp staff Segun Enikhuemehin has alleged that some soldiers beat him mercilessly and plucked out one of his eyes for daring to save a civilian who the soldiers were brutalizing.Segun was said to have pleaded with the soldiers to have mercy on the civilian when he saw that the civilian would be killed if nothing was done,he asked the soldiers to hand the civilian over to the police of they felt he had done something wrong.
For showing such effrontery,the soldiers descended on Segun.Inspite of his beating,Segun was able to save the civilian and took him to Ebute meta police station and was accompanied back to the scene of the incident by policemen.By this action the soldiers became more infuriated and again descended on Segun in the process plucking out his right eye. He picked up his eye and ran to the general hospital where he was rejected and asked to go to Lagos University Teaching Hospital. The soldiers allegedly tried to escape but were overpowered by eyewitnesses who caught them and handed them over to the police. When a relative of Segun visited the station he was informed that the soldier had been released to the military authorities and he alleged that one of the accused even walked into the station with a senior officer to collect his ID card and other personal effects initially collected by the police. The military is yet to issue a statement of the incident which happened on Sunday afternoon.
