It is true that the Nigerian army is trying very well on the fight to protect the people of Nigeria but the recent event has also shown that majority in the armed forces of Nigeria lack some basic training concerning how they should handle and associate with the Nigerian public in a better manner. Based on that, we (Viewers Corner News team) are appealing to the management of the Nigerian armed forces to introduce a program which would educate and enlighten the men and women of the Nigerian military. This program should be on Human Behaviour/Public Relations for the serving personnel of the Nigerian armed forces because anyone who witnessed the beaten of a handicapped man on a wheelchair by some men of the Nigerian army would understand what we are trying to express here. Some weeks ago, a handicapped man in the eastern part of Nigeria was beaten so badly because he was wearing an army uniform. In all civilized countries of the world, such is allowed, it does not change anything besides this is a handicapped man putting an army clothes which would not have been a problem. However if those men of the Nigerian army who committed that atrocity had proper knowledge of public relations/human behaviour, perhaps such ugly incident would not have happened. We (Viewers Corner News team) also gathered that the Nigerian army has compensated the handicapped man handsomely which is very good and those that committed the offense were sent to jail as alleged. This judgement was a fair one which should teach other men and women of the Nigerian armed forces that they should not take the law in their own hands by beaten up people at the slightest provocation that comes their way, such attitude is wrong which may dent the image of the Nigerian army if not controlled.
