Nollywood actress,Jewel Infinity has cried out to the general public for
their help after she was beaten to a pulp and harassed by a soldier in
Rivers State. In her words below:
Please my good people, I'm sincerely calling out for justice
against violence. I am hospitalized right now. I'm in serious pain and
agony; in between life and death.I boarded a sienna vehicle leaving Port
Harcourt for Onitsha. We were pulled over by some soldiers.One
of them, SULAIMAN OLAMILEKAN, began to molest me. He accused me of
discussing him, where I was only having a friendly debate with the lady
beside me. I explained to him, but he ignored me and demanded I
disembark, kneel down and apologise to him.I told him I
did nothing wrong to apologise. He started hitting me with a stick. The
other soldiers confiscated and broke my phone, to prevent me from taking
pictures. When I told them that I'd no longer proceed with the journey,
they refused.The driver drove off to some distance away
from there, and I alighted and returned to Port harcourt and went
straight to the Barracks to report him. His superiors pleaded that I
shouldn't take the case any further; that he'd be remanded for one
month, which i feel is not enough justice.He was summoned
and he confessed that i didn't do anything to have warranted his cruel
action, that he was in a very bad mood. He begged me to forgive him and
not take things seriously. Right now i am bedridden.The
doctor said I'm running temperature due to my high blood pressure. I am
in serious pain and rendered partially immoveable. His facebook I.D is
Sulaiman Olamilekan.Please help me reach out to anybody in
authority, who can fight this violence. Violence is indeed a cankerworm
that has eaten us deep into every fabric of the Nigerian Army Force.
Soldiers fight and protect their own, not to destroy the innocent
civilians."
