Meanwhile, Nigerians commenting on the incident have condemned the assault on the young woman and crude method and impunity with which the Nigerian security agents maltreated the people at the slight opportunity.
They called on Nigerians to rise up and defend their freedom, insisting that until Nigerians adopts the Kenya style of protest, Nigerian political leaders would not care and stop the impunity.
