Man Who Was Brutally Assaulted by Army Cadets, Shares Bitter Experience on Channels TV (Photos+Video)

The civilian man who allegedly complemented a female Army officer which landed him in hot soup as military cadets brutally assault him in a video which went viral, has finally opened up to Channels Television.
Speaking on Monday as guest on Channels Television 'Sunrise Daily programme', Amari Sunday, who is the victim in the viral assault video which shows Nigerian Army Cadets brutally beating him, has disclosed that his initial offence was his inability to get to an army officer who called him from a distance within 5 seconds.

The man who was working under SureP programme and assigned to Jabi Lake in Abuja, claimed that it was while they were beating him that the female cadet asked him if she was beautiful, and when he said yes, it resulted in another round of beating, as the brutal torture started off in full force.

Giving an account of how the torture captured in the video began, he said, "We were attached to some police men and army officers, because of some terrorists that come around the area, so I thought maybe they (the cadets) were deployed to come around in case of any problem not knowing they had their own personal intention of coming.

They came while I was at the reception; they passed by my right and they were beating one boy there. I couldn’t talk. One of them then said I should come. He gave me five seconds to come and meet him and he was in a far distance."

"He said they gave me the first opportunity of five seconds and I failed, three seconds and I also failed. So, before I could say sorry, they slapped me. I said ‘Sorry, please, can I identify myself?’ They said ‘what fucking identification?’ I said ‘please I work here, I am also a federal government staff’. They said it didn’t mean. How will I identify myself? They beat me again. So, when they began to slap me, the second lady also joined; they were two, so the two of them continued slapping me.

She said she asked me a question and I couldn’t answer. And the question was: why did I fail to meet the other guy that called me within five seconds. And I said the distance was far and before I could run to him, the five seconds had gone. And he also sent me to come within three seconds and I couldn’t meet him. She now said I talked too much and slapped me again."

"I said sorry, she said she was talking to me and I was looking at the ground, that couldn’t I look at her? As I was looking at her, she slapped me again, I bent down and she said she was talking to me and I couldn’t look at her face.

And then I started looking at her, she slapped me and she asked why I was looking at an army officer, that I should tell her whether she was beautiful or ugly. And she started looking at me. She said I should talk, so when I refused to talk, she slapped me again and I said ‘you are beautiful’.

Then they said I admired army officer in uniform; they said I had committed an offence. How could I admire army officer in uniform? The other guy came around and started beating me from back like you saw it in the video."
