Compelling story. Was the soldier identified. Around what time did this take place? Are authorities envisaging any measures? How common is this, soldiers beating up civilians because one of theirs is touched? What was the soldier suspected of stealing? Kindly update. Thanks.

It happened early this moning precisely in the Japoma Chateau area. The locals arrested a suspected thief was arrested and badly beaten. he is reported to have said he was a soldier but without presenting documents according to witnessess was manhandled. He called for reinforcement. It was about 6 am.

The soldiers came onboard a truck, smashed a car and the doors of houses, beat up women men and children. 6 of them were bundled and are been detained at Bakoko Gendarmerie brigade. A student lost his right eye.

I hear the action was carried out by elements of the military engineering ( Genie M)
