In Bunkpurugu, the North East Region, four residents are receiving treatment at the district hospital after sustaining injuries that they say were caused by military personnel during a curfew imposed over local chieftaincy disputes.
Witnesses claim that armed forces used the curfew as an opportunity to break into homes, beat occupants and damage property. The injured, who are currently in hospital care, have not disclosed the full extent of their wounds.
Families and community members have demanded an end to the alleged brutality and are calling for justice for those affected. Local authorities have yet to release an official statement on the incidents.
Observers note that the curfew, intended to curb tensions, may have escalated violence instead, raising concerns about the conduct of security forces in the region.
