Gbimsi residents allegedly brutalised by military amid curfew

At least two residents of Gbimsi, near Walewale in the North East Region, have reportedly suffered injuries following alleged military brutality during curfew enforcement.

One victim sustained a broken wrist, while another suffered a swollen eye.

The latest incident, which occurred on Saturday evening, involved armed soldiers allegedly dragging people from their homes and assaulting them.

Victims, including Mohammed Waliu and Daniel Yidana, have accused the military of unwarranted attacks, with reports of store vandalism also emerging.

Member of Parliament Dr Tia Mahama Kabiru condemned the actions, urging the Interior Ministry to lift the curfew immediately.

With 10 reported cases of brutality in a week, concerns are mounting over the impact of military presence on regional peace.
