A soldier identified as Private Abubakar Ibrahim, allegedly brutalised and hospitalised several officers of the paramilitary organisation, Man O’War Nigeria, at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp in Kubwa, the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
It was gathered that the incident occurred during the 2022 Batch ‘C’ Stream II NYSC 21-day orientation course which commenced on November 30, 2022.
According to SaharaReporters, a source said that the camp authorities and the army had been shielding the soldier, who is serving at Garrison Mogadishu Barracks from disciplinary action.
The source said, “An argument occurred in the camp and before we know it, the soldier descended on the Man O’ War officials. He started beating them with belt and stick.
“They were really dehumanised by Private Abubakar Ibrahim serving at Garrison Mogadishu barrack. We are calling on Garrison commander immediately to swing into action by arresting the so-called soldier by name, Private Abubakar serving at Garrison, Mogadishu barracks.
“The army and the NYSC coordinator are trying to cover up everything but we won’t take it lightly with them.”
Recall that in 2021, a female soldier, Chika Anele, was seen in a trending video assaulting a female corps member, Ifeyinwa Ezeiruaku, in Cross River State.
In the 32-seconds clip, he corps member was seen kneeling down, while the female soldier, a lieutenant, kept scooping what looked like dirty water and then pouring it all over her. The video ended with the soldier slapping her victim.
According to reports, the soldier and the corps member had an argument before the incident.
The army, however, condemned the incident and apologised for it.
