David Adewuyi groaned for a few seconds as he slowly sat on a white plastic chair at a security post at Gloryland Estate in Arepo, Ogun State. His body ached as a result of bruises allegedly inflicted upon him three days earlier by some soldiers stationed in the community. Adewuyi, a security guard at Gloryland Estate, said the offence that resulted in his beating was preventing a Hausa scavenger from entering the estate.
In the past, Adewuyi said scavengers were allowed into the estate, but they were banned from doing so about two years ago due to incessant cases of burglary allegedly traced to them.
