FEMALE SOLDIER’S CLAIM OF MALTREATMENT BY SENIOR OFFICERS: NIGERIAN ARMY TO INVESTIGATE

The Nigerian Army (NA) has been inundated with audiovisuals making the rounds on social media of the unprofessional conduct of a female soldier in mufti, who claimed to have been maltreated by some senior officers. It is instructive to state that considering the gravity of the allegations, NA as a disciplined force will conduct a thorough investigation into the matter.

It is crucial to point out that contrary to the claims made in the video, the soldier in question has not exhausted the laid down procedure for seeking redress in the NA. This is aside Human Rights and Gender Desks established in Army Headquarters and across NA formations, where complaints about human rights and gender issues are also entertained. The NA remains a professional force that self regulates and conducts its activities in adherence to established rules and ethics, while upholding the highest standards of discipline amongst personnel. We therefore encourage all personnel to always utilize the established channels for addressing grievances and concerns as a member of a noble and disciplined force.

We assure the general public that the NA as an institution is committed to upholding the integrity and morals of its personnel and as such appropriate actions will be taken based on the findings of the investigation.

We urge the public to allow the investigative process to take its course and refrain from making hasty judgments. The NA remains dedicated to serving our nation with honor and integrity.

After the investigation, what next. She must obey the last order.

its the same thing all over the world....

thats why its better to separate them....
a female soldier cant risk to smile at a male soldier....

na soo wahala always dey start....

Some expressions in this report already showing bias.

"...unprofessional conduct of a female soldier..."

"...contrary to the claims made in the video, the soldier in question has not exhausted the laid down procedure for seeking redress..."

Flourishe:
They better do

it will not solve the issue....

better separate them....women should have their own units and women officers....

what do you await....army want to save their image....

they always cover this sort of things up or downplay it....

Laying it in the open is perhaps her only 'escape'.

It is well

Good

Better....

Institutions will always find a way to victimize a victim further. the unprofessional conduct of the officer(speaking up) is the most important thing for the Nigerian Army in this case....investigation into her allegations na just by d way...We already how this will end, I am glad she knows too. SHe will get her peace at least

Social media is indeed a powerful tool.

Better

Do they ever make the outcome of the investigations public..
The Nigerian 🇳🇬 military forces especially the army is run like a secret cult, where just a few high ranking officials knows what’s happening.
Take the issue of the the female pilot who died in a mysterious accident some few years ago, the air force came out with similar statements that the cause of her death will be investigated.

Fast forward till this day, no concrete information as regards to her death has been made available to the general public.

Some years ago some soldiers were sentenced to death for mutiny because they protested against non payments of their salaries.

Another incident where a soldier complained on video, about the kind of weapons that they were using to fight the terrorist were obsolete and requested for more advanced weapons, he was told to report himself to his superiors, till today we don’t know what happened to that guy.


And we won’t even hear the last of this one.

Na always investigate.

Soldier shoot civilian.
“We shall investigate.”

Police beat person into coma.
“We shall investigate.”

TB Joshua’s synagogue collapsed.
“Investigations shall be underway.”

Money lost for government.
“Investigations shall be made and the culprits will face justice.”

Everything na investigation without result.

Thorough investigation should be carried out

Yes pls, let them investigate and take appropriate actions, but the female officer will also be punished.

Hmm

Good one

What are they investigating, the people she figured out will still use their power to save their heads and if care is not taking, they will be given powers and permission by the investigating team to torment her the more, no be Nigeria we dey?...but the soldier fine Shaa....,😁

This case will be swept under the carpet

Ok, noted.

absolutely. She did the right thing for her wellness and safety. Na victimization for make her commit suicide if she no speak

G

I remember the case of Corporal Olakpini and the other chap that was dismissed for preaching the gospel on uniform.

Unprofessional?? It's obvious the soldier is tired of the military and looking for a way out...

She is doing everything to make them dismiss her
