A Nigerian military member, identified as Abdullahi Ismail, was discharged from the army due to having a Sëxüãl relationship with a fellow soldier’s spouse.
Several reports indicate that the Lance Corporal was expelled from his position at the 231 Battalion in Biu, Borno State, during the week.
A source who spoke with a well-known media outlet said: “The soldier was fired from the Nigerian Army for sleeping with his colleague’s housewife. We’re happy as this will serve as an example to others involved in this act now common in our barracks.”
Another source added, “Our colleague, Abdullahi has been dismissed at 231 BN Biu. He slèpt with his regular’s wife. So sad.”
The source further mentioned that the discharged soldier had a history of Sëxüãl misconduct before being reported to the army authorities.
His wrongdoing, involving indecent professional conduct and engaging in a sexual relationship with a fellow soldier’s spouse, violates Sections 79 and 93 of the Armed Forces Act CAP A20, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
The law stipulates imprisonment and dismissal from service with dishonor as the consequences for such actions.
Just a few days earlier, the Nigerian Army authorities had dismissed two soldiers for stealing armored cables from the Dangote Refinery in Lagos.
These soldiers were apprehended at the refinery with 897 armored cables that had already been cut to size and were detained in Lagos on April 14th.
