Ruth Ogunleye, a former Nigerian soldier, has made a public plea for a review of her case, where she accused senior military officer, Colonel I.B. Abdulkareem, of sexual harassment. In a video circulating on social media, Ogunleye apologized to the Chief of Army Staff and requested a review, citing concerns that the investigation was compromised.
Ogunleye’s allegations led to a comprehensive investigation ordered by the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja. However, the Nigerian Army found no evidence to support her claims against Colonel Abdulkareem [SaharaReporters]. The Army’s investigation concluded that Ogunleye was discharged on medical grounds due to a condition that rendered her “medically vulnerable.”
