My superior officer forcibly put me inside casket, slept with me – Dismissed Nigerian female soldier laments

Ruth’s story echoes the sentiment that sometimes, those entrusted with our safety can become the very sources of our pain. Every soldier knows that the road to honor is paved with sacrifices, but for Ruth, that path turned into a rocky terrain of despair when her trust she claimed was shattered by a superior officer

  • In a shocking revelation, Ex-Nigerian soldier Ruth Ogunleye has come forward to expose the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of her senior officer during her military service.
  • With raw emotion, she detailed the distressing experiences of alleged molestation and dehumanization, describing how she was treated like a worthless object.
  • Determined to get justice, Ogunleye boldly urged the higher ranks to launch a thorough investigation into her harrowing ordeal

Ruth Ogunleye, a courageous former soldier of the Nigerian Army, is shattering the silence surrounding her controversial discharge, firmly rejecting claims that she left due to medical issues.

In a riveting live interview with AIT,  Ruth opened up about the traumatic ordeal that forced her to walk away from a military career—an experience, she claimed was marred by abuse at the hands of a Colonel.

With palpable emotion, Ruth recounted the horrific details of her alleged assault, claiming that the colonel violently forced himself on her in his office, a violation that left her shaken to her core.

According to her, despite her bravery in reporting the incident, she was met with indifference and disbelief from her superiors, who dismissed her claims as fabrications.

In an even more shocking twist, Ruth alleged that the Colonel subjected her to further humiliation by placing her inside a body bag in a casket —an object typically reserved for fallen soldiers.

This act of degradation, Ruth claimed, not only stripped away her dignity but also instilled a deep sense of fear and isolation within her, made it impossible to continue serving in an environment that felt increasingly hostile and unsafe.

In Ruth’s words:

“He forcibly slept with me inside his office and put me inside casket which is called body bag and nothing is being done. They normally use it in northeast to bury soldiers who die during war.

“So he put me inside casket. I sought for redress but nobody listened to me, they did not believe what I was telling and I have evidence”
