The
14 years being tortured via submersion in water till she nearly drowned
This video was recorded a few days
ago in Maiduguri, Borno State
Video starts at a stagnant, shallow
pond, and we can see a crowd watching from the opposite bank.
In the middle of the pond is a young
CJTF (Civilian Joint Task Force) man holding someone under water, we can hear
from background
audio that he is being asked to
immerse the 'detainee' in the muddy water some more. (Audio is in Hausa)
"Push her well into the water
until she is filled up."
The man in the middle of the pond
pulls her head above water, then pushes the detainee under water again.
Next the unseen voice instructs the
torturer to pull her out: "Drag her out," he says.
The torturer complies and drags his
victim, a girl between the age of 10 and 12 by her leg out of the pond. As he
does so, she repeatedly screams:
"I'll confess! I'll
confess!!"
At the edge, with her two hands
bound by a rope behind her, she blurted, as she pants and pleads:
"Please, Oga I'll confess! I'll
talk!!"
Her torturer stood her up and almost
immediately forced her back down.
Seat down!", the unidentified
CJTF leader commanded her.
At this point, the bottom half of
one of the interrogators appears in the footage showing legs clad in military
camouflage wearing combat boots.
She attempts to rise One of the CJTF
men yelled at the girl 2 seat down again:
"Seat down or I'll f*ck ur
mother," he bellows.
She kneels down as her torturer
tries to untie her.
"Wayyo!," she lamented,
continuing: "I'll talk!" (all in Hausa)
"Myself and another girl
came in from REDACTED. They gave us 2 bags of 'Bagco' (jute bags)...
"How did you enter.
Maiduguri," an interrogator interrupts.
Either out of confusion or
deliberately, she avoided d question. Instead, she "We put the guns
in the sacks and hid them under clothes in a 'Ghana Must Go' bag."
"Where is d one given to
you?", her interrogator probes.
As she made to answer, the same
question was thrown at her by yet another interrogator. All the while, the
person untying her was yet to accomplish his task, so her hands are still bound
behind her back.
She answers: "the one given to
me is with me in my place."
"Where is your
place?," another question is fired at her.
"It is in my place. We
kept it together," she said, indicating that the plural 'we' refers to
herself and her accomplice who is still at large
"Where is the
place," the interrogators asked simultaneously. "In a brothel, where
I lodged," she says.
"Ah ah!", goes an
interrogator in frustration.
"You've been lying to
us," the interrogator swears.
"I swear I'm not
lying," she offers as a cacophony of voices is heard trying to compel a
confession from her.
"There were 2 types of
guns given to us," she screams as d top of her voice as the interrogators
shot another question at her.
"You said you were
2?""Her own consignment is with her. It comprises of double muzzle
guns," she tris to explain herself further.
This girl is playing with our
intelligence," said one of d interrogators, as another, with his dane gun
between his legs, is still struggling with the rope binding her hands.
She continues to explain as
she begs for mercy.
"You'll not tell us the
truth," one interrogator blurts as the one who untied her used the rope to
whip her back.
At this point, the voice of the
leader became conciliatory as he tries to use a softer questioning approach on
her.
Minute Video End
For the record, Civilian JTF guys
did a good job by arresting her but the method of extracting the information is
wrong and abuse
