Chinese national uses Nigerian soldier with ak-47 rifle like houseboy in Lagos market

A Twitter user identified as @NjokuLilian7 has narrated how a Chinese man turned an armed soldier into a domestic servant inside a market in Lagos.

Njoku tweeted: “I saw a Nigerian soldier with an AK-47, following a Chinese (in a blue T-shirt) up and down in the market and doing the work of a maid,” she tweeted.

“The Chinese buys and gives to the “maid” to carry behind him. The “maid” hurries to the car to offload and comes back to his “oga”. Shame!”

Many commenters agreed with her it was a shame and criticized the Chinese man for abusing the protection service extended to him apparently because of the spate of insecurity in the country.

Commenters wondered if a Chinese soldier could escort a Nigerian to the market in China, much less run errands for him.

The issue of the wrong priority of security was also raised, as many wondered why the authorities deploy personnel to provide protection services for wealthy individuals, including foreigners when the masses are left at the mercy of kidnappers and armed robbers.

Some also raised the issue of poor remuneration of the armed forces which makes them susceptible to such antics from rich individuals.
