A shocking video has surfaced online showing Nigerian soldiers in Nsukka, Enugu State allegedly punishing a driver by forcing him to wade through a puddle of dirty roadside water—after he reportedly splashed them by mistake.

The footage, shared widely on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram, captures the tense moment as uniformed soldiers stand over the man, ordering him into the murky water. The driver, visibly uncomfortable, obeys as onlookers record the incident.

According to eyewitness accounts, the confrontation began when the driver unknowingly drove through a water-filled pothole, splashing nearby soldiers. Instead of resolving the matter calmly, the soldiers allegedly resorted to public humiliation.

The video has triggered a wave of condemnation from Nigerians, with many describing the soldiers’ actions as “unjust,” “petty,” and an “abuse of authority.” Critics argue that such behavior undermines public trust in the military, while others are calling for disciplinary action against those involved.

As of the time of this report, the Nigerian Army and Enugu State security agencies have yet to comment on the incident. Human rights advocates are urging a swift investigation to determine the facts and ensure accountability.

The video continues to circulate widely, adding to the ongoing debate about the conduct of security forces and their treatment of civilians in Nigeria.
