What do you think should be done to the Air Force officers who brutalized a staff of FAAN?

On Monday, May 18, 2015, it was widely reported that two personnel of the Nigerian Air Force showed their brutal side when they beat up a staff of the Federal Aviation Authority of Nigeria (FAAN), Muhammed Shuaibu, to a state of stupor just because the man went to beg on the behalf of his friend who had gotten into trouble with the officers.

Shuaibu was so badly dehumanized that he is currently battling for his life with reports of internal bleeding.

This is not the first time that Air Force officers have taken the laws into their hands by beating up people. Late last year, some of their men descended on a female Assistant Superintendent of Police at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, beating her blue black.

Early this year, some Air Force officers beat up a man in Warri, Delta State, because he had gone to an airport at the same time wife of President Goodluck Jonathan, Patience, was to arrive.

Just some weeks ago, another senior female police officer fell foul of their power show at a filling station in Lagos and she tasted the bile of an officer and she was brutalized with her car seriously damaged.

Now that Shuaibu is battling for his life, it has become imperative that the excesses of these airmen be curbed.

On Morning Teaser today, we ask: what do you think is the appropriate punishment to be meted out to the erring officers?
