Private Ruth Ogunleye, a female soldier in the Nigerian Army, has been discharged from service following her allegations of sexual harassment against a senior officer, Colonel I.B. Abdulkareem.
The incident has drawn attention to issues of gender-based misconduct within the military. Ogunleye’s accusation highlights the challenges female soldiers face in a traditionally male-dominated environment, with calls for accountability and justice for such claims.
The Army’s decision to discharge her raises concerns about how these issues are handled and whether enough measures are in place to protect victims of harassment within the ranks.
