Ezeiruaku Ifeyinwa

Member of the National Youth Service Corps, Ifeyinwa Ezeiruaku, who was brutalised by a female soldier, Lt. Chika Anele, has said that the military did not gag her.

She has relocated to Lagos after Anele’s action that hurt the youth corp’s humanity and the NYSC’s dream to entrench unity.

Speaking to newsmen when she arrived Lagos on Friday, however, Ifeyinwa said other soldiers did not threaten her.

According to her, even after Anele’s scandal broke, her colleagues (military) sympathised with her and condemned what Anele did.

There has been outrage after a viral video showed a female soldier, Lt. Chika Anele, dehumanizing Ifeyinwa. According to reports, she resorted to humiliating Ifeyinwa because she dared to argue with her. In the video, Anele was seen using a bowl to scoop dirty water from a bucket and poured its content on the corps member who was on her knees. She was also seen using the back of the bowl to hit the corper’s head.
