Nigerian Army’s Injustice against Ruth Ogunleye

Another indication that female soldiers will likely not get justice when they accuse senior officers of sexual abuse emerged last week when the Nigerian Army disclosed that it had discharged Private Ruth Ogunleye, who accused a senior officer, Colonel I.B Abdulkareem, of sexual harassment.


The Army specifically said the female soldier was eased out of the service on medical grounds after the conclusion of its probe.

Recall that Ogunleye had in January on her TikTok page via @Ogunleyeruthsavage1, accused Col. IB Abdulkareem, Col. G.S Ogor, and Brig. Gen. I.B Solebo, of making her life unbearable and confining her in a psychiatric hospital for several months because she turned down Abdulkareem’s sexual advances.

Giving an update, the army spokesman, Major-General Onyema Nwachukwu, explained that the senior officer did not commit the offence levelled against him by Ogunleye.

But the discharged female soldier has faulted the investigation, claiming that she was never invited to face any investigative panel or testify before any military panel to prove her sanity.


Her reactions showed that there was lack of fairness in the investigation.

A similar case was that of Beauty Uzezi, a 19-year-old Airwoman from Bayelsa State who was frustrated out of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) on the same medical grounds, for alleging that she was drugged, tortured and raped by an officer, who was her former instructor.

Though a human rights activist and Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN), Mr. Femi Falana secured a $200,000 judgment for her through the ECOWAS Court, the accused officer was never sanctioned.

Another female soldier, Lance Corporal Philomena Nnamoko, attached to Ilese Sappers Barracks, Division 2, Ogun State, had also alleged that her senior colleagues beat her up and sent her to the Yaba Psychiatric Hospital on account of her refusal to give in to their sexual advances.


She had also accused the army of refusing to grant her request for a voluntary discharge as at January 2024.

All these cases give the impression that the military authorities hang the allegation of having medical issues on the neck of female soldiers who allege sexual harassment against officers.

President Bola Tinubu should stop this perceived act of injustice by disallowing the military from investigating itself on cases of sexual harassment involving its officers.

Since the military hands over soldiers involved in armed robbery and other criminal offences to the police, they should stop shielding their senior officers facing allegations of sexual harassment, and hand them over to the police for investigation.

There is more to this story
It is quite surprising that at one point she was claimed a victim and now she sounds like one under coercive pressure. I hope the truth is finally revealed one day.

Wow

Sorry for what

If I catch u

I'm very sure a civilian can't try this with a military man..

Why is she crying and begging? Was it that she is changing the allegations she earlier made or I don't understand

Dont Judge. Na so i talk from d day this story broke out

Just dey observe o. Sit on d fence even

The Nigerian Military is a cult. A very secret one.

There's a reason she's making a U-turn

The story should be explained further. I thought all she wanted was dismissal from the force. She’s gotten it. What does she want again? Maybe civilians chance her so she need the uniform back to oppress them.

Fine but very stupid girl

Is your life and destiny tied to a corrupt and undisciplined Army?

Are you destined to be raped and abused for nothing

She is beginning to appear truly unstable as alleged by her rapists

Was she drugged??


I mean she's a fvcking soldier that has undergone training, can't she fight them off...

Hmmmmm trusting an owamberian to stand by their word is like trusting a rattle snake with chicken eggs.
The army said she dey kress, they might be right after all.

Did you listen to her very well, and I don't not see her crying but just expressing herself, she is asking that her result be reviewed, which could be the result of her ill mental health at which it was said its what lead to the false accusations she made.

Hheenn, simple narration and you could not understand!

COAS should forgive her

Females.... Na so I talk reach....

can you see your life like that of the chicken egg.

This is sad, shows how corrupt our system is that even the victim is shamed and suffers for crying out and have to try appease her own abusers.

I wish she can move on to something better. Fùck the so called pompous superiors abeg

We need to start taking sexual assault cases seriously in this Country

Some jobs have their own fair share of hazards that requires absolute secrecy. Some times a great person does not say all the sacrifices he/she made to become great.....it's part of the system.

Making her condition worse, I hope she doesn't commit suicide

Worse time to get sacked
