About 500 hundred women were flogged mercilessly on Wednesday for staging a protest at Ovre-Eku, Iwevbo Community in Delta state over a land sold to an oil company which had allegedly been in dispute for years between Edo and Delta states.
The women converged at Eku community wearing black attires, before marching to the disputed land, carrying a coffin covered in palm fronds to express their displeasure over alleged sale of the land to an oil company.
According to Vanguard, at about 10:45a.m, during the protest, about 10 soldiers accosted the women and directed them to vacate the site but the women were adamant and insisted on being addressed by a representative of the oil company.
The Unit Commander at the site, Lt. E. D Oworobo, was so furious at their insistence that he cocked his riffle while threatening to shoot the women before ordering his men to flog them.
The soldiers unleashed mayhem on the women and flogged them mercilessly, while also kicking them with their boots.
The aged among the women, who were as old as 80, who could not run, were trampled on by the soldiers while some others were flogged with tree stems.
