Barrister Johnson Oyewole, lawyer to a female soldier recently dismissed by the Nigerian Army, after she was raped by suspected bandits, has appealed to Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, the Chief of Army Staff, to upturn the decision.
The female soldier was dismissed after getting pregnant following the rape by the bandits who attacked their vehicle while she was on transit from Lagos to Oyo state.
The soldier was later investigated by an Army board of inquiry (BOI) and tried and was found culpable of the βOffence of βConduct Prejudicial to Service Disciplineβ and was dismissed from service.
