A viral video circulating online shows the moment a Nigerian soldier engaged in a heated argument with a man, pulled out his combat knife, and stabbed him.
According to the video, the incident occurred at Fayose Market in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State.
The soldier was seen beating the man with a plank while bystanders attempted to intervene.
In the midst of the confrontation, the enraged soldier suddenly brought out his combat knife and attacked the unarmed man.
This is not the first time members of the military have assaulted unarmed civilians, a situation that has become increasingly common in Nigeria.
Nigerians have often felt helpless in such cases, although the Army has consistently urged victims to report incidents to the nearest formation, promising investigations and disciplinary action against offenders.
