Ifeyinwa Fidelis, the female youth corper who was assaulted by a female army officer, Lieutenant Chika Viola Anele has allegedly been asked to leave the state by the authorities of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Cross River State.
The Nigerian Army, on its part, has ordered the arrest of Lieutenant Anele by the Military Police. They insist that she will be tried for unprofessional conduct following the outcry of human rights activist, Abba Jalingo.
Jaligo had posted a video of the female soldier pouring an unknown white liquid substance from a mopping bucket on the female corper whom she ordered to kneel down in front of her. Anele also hit the helpless corper on the head with the bailer in her hand.
According to the human rights activist who started trending ‘#justiceForIfeyinwa,’ “This what a commissioned female army officer, Lt Chika Viola Anele, did to a youth corps member, Ezeiruaku Ifeyinwa Fidelia, serving at the 13 Brigade Headquarters in Calabar after having an argument.
“We understand that the leadership in 13 Brigade are working to kill the matter. Let us make the officer very popular for all the wrong reasons.”
SaharaReporters reported that Fidelia who is attached to the 13 Brigade Command, Calabar as her primary assignment, has been allegedly asked to leave town for “safety reasons.”
“She has been given transportation to leave town by road immediately,” a source said.
