In Oct 2014, a female soldier in @HQNigerianArmy received a pass to travel to Ogbomoso, Oyo State, SW #Nigeria.

The commercial vehicle she boarded ran into bandits near Odo-Oba Road, 5 of whom reportedly set upon the female soldier & #gangraped her.

Following the #gangrape, she obtained an extract from the @PoliceNG crime diary, a sworn affidavit & a medical report, which indicated that she sustained “injury of right ankle joint with laceration & bruises around the thigh region.”

By December, 2014, when she reported sick at the Military hospital, the matron confirmed that she was around 12 weeks pregnant.

Thereafter, the rape victim was court-martialed, charged with 1 count of ‘conduct prejudicial to service discipline,’ found guilty & dismissed.
Essentially, @HQNigerianArmy Army dismissed a female soldier because she:

1. was gang-raped by bandits;

2. was forcibly impregnated by the bandits by gang-rape;

3. didn't terminate the pregnancy contracted from the gang-rape.
