Hope nothing bad happens yo her for speaking out. How could she have related to the appropriate authority when they will always tell you to "Obey the last orde"

What will happen is she will face a General Court Martial and possibly serve a prison term.

You don't know military. You will think there is enjoyment in that uniform until you try it.
Jejely dey enjoy your civilian life.

One of the reasons most young soldiers dress weird is because they are damaged (they're not normal). They sweep too many things under to ruge until it compile into a monster... That is why, if a soldier really cares about the mind set of his family, he will rent house off barracks for his family (to avoid that influence).

The Minister of Women Affairs, Uju Kennedy-Ohanenye, has escalated the case of a female soldier allegedly abused by some senior officers.

In a now-viral video, a female soldier of the Nigerian Army, Ruth Ogunleye, had accused a colonel and two other senior officers of sexual harassment, intimidation and threat to life.

Ogunleye alleged that the colonel frustrated her life after she rejected his sexual advances and threatened to dismiss her from the army.

She said the colonel deliberately stigmatised her with mental illness each time she reported him to his superiors, forcefully locked her up in a psychiatric hospital and stopped her salary in February 2023.

But in a statement issued by her media aide, Ohaeri Joseph, the minister said she visited the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Taoreed Lagbaja, at the high command in Abuja over the case.

After the visit to the army chief, the minister said she was adequately updated on the efforts the army has put in place towards resolving the matter. and also visited Ogunleye.

The minister said she was also informed with documented evidence that the lady’s salary was never stopped as she was paid up to December 2023.

Kennedy-Ohanenye, however, commended the army chief and the top management for their efforts towards handling the matter.

The statement reads: “I am happy to have met the Chief of Army Staff with his top management and must commend their collective efforts towards handling this matter.

“My visit is pursuant to the mandate which the Women Affairs Ministry has to promote the interest of every woman in Nigeria and I have received strong assurances from the Chief of Army Staff concerning this matter, who has equally detailed some senior officers to accompany me to visit Miss Ogunleye, I interacted with her and I am optimistic that the outcome will be fine.”

Hope they are not going to give her the king David treatment in Abuja by sending her to the kidnappers jungle? I heard thousands of kidnappers are now in the Abuja forest.

Kidnappers are in Kaduna (a state near Abuja) with their Oga Gumi.

It is in Kaduna they pay ransom (under the nose of the military).

I think the only mistake she made was not reporting it to the MP, then if they did nothing she would have come out to cry on social media. Most of those hausa officers have very low self-esteem and exposure. A southerner go typically whine her for claw or she go feel him stizz tender kpekus. But because dis aboki officers no get game na to oppress and rape. Very shameful

This makes no sense.

You are implying that it would be ok if the senior officers accused of harassment were 'non abokis'.

If the accused senior officers are confirmed not to be 'abokis' then you have some explaining to do.

Very shortly they will be protest on the release of this woman all over the country and around the world and the Nigerian army will explain to the world why they arrested this woman and moved her to abuja instead of rushing into investigation and calling all those she have mentioned in for questioning ?

Sadly, I don't expect her to get justice. She might get her funds released, but she will suffer. She'll be lucky not to be dismissed (but I think that's what she really wants). She sounds tired

That’s all they know how to do in this country, when you speak up they get you arrested and humiliated, but meanwhile they’ve not been able to investigate the matter and find out the truth, even bandits and bomb blast Dey happen daily citizens are dying nothing is being investigated but when one speak up they crush the person, Nigeria is next to Haiti in the list of worse countries to live in, we ain’t getting better

You are beneath contempt. Does this belief of yours extent to public sector jobs and private offices? How about universities? What if it was your wife, sister or daughter being pressured for sex by some executive, government official or lecturer?

Disorganised military..

One reason I don't have any interest in it again.. So disorganised and lawless

If she never spoke out, they would still be oppressing her... Now she tried her best to complain but they would block her....

Na now army spokeman dey talk say she didn't communicate to them.. Why would she when you people won't do anytin.

I advise everyone should always speak up on the social media if you are being oppressed by anyone above you
.
This is why I hate it when people say the military are protecting civilians...for where? Those fools are more focused on looting, corruption and sleeping with cadets rather than to fight insecurity. Is it all those generals with big tummy that will lead assault on terrorists?

Cases like this are just so disheartening and discouraging.

She went through the recruitment process.Her mental health was examined and she was certified ok to join the army.Otherwise,she would not have been recruited.Why was she locked up in a guard room?Why was her salary Frozen?Is that how to treat someone with mental issue?

Honestly I don’t have the answers to these questions but my intuition tells me it’s more of a mental issue.

If someone tries to rape her several times as she alleged. Why didn't she keep something as a proof of the attempted rape. Like audio recordings, set up, . It is the easiest thing to set up a man who lust after a woman. She needs to prove her case. Those guys are senior military officers.

I thought I heard "inject" not "eject"


Guess she was trying to say, he sent boys to her room to inject her With drugs that'll make people feel she has a mental illness.

Done in movies.


Hope they don't silence her, for her salary to be seized for almost a year, is a enough for her to cry out for help.
