Men of the Nigerian Army have been accused of brutalising youths in Nde village, Ikom Local Government Area, Cross Rivers State.
According to reports, the men were brutalised for protesting against cattle grazing in their farmland.
At least, 10 youths of the community were brutalised 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 produce.
Consequently, soldiers allegedly arrived at the community and beat up their youths for asking the herdsmen to leave.
Members of the community have said that they are peaceful and have asked herdsmen and the army to leave them in peace.
