Ruth Ogunleye, the female soldier who was discharged from the military for accusing a senior officer, Colonel I.B Abdulkareem, of sexual harassment, has narrated how she was drugged and rapped for days.
GISTSMATE MEDIA reports that Ogunleye had in January this year on her TikTok account accused Col. IB Abdulkareem, Col. G.S Ogor, and Brig. Gen. I.B Solebo, of making her life unbearable.
But giving an update about the matter, the spokesman of the land forces, Onyema Nwachukwu, said the allegations were false.
Nwachukwu, a Major-General, stressed that the conclusion was arrived at after an exhaustive review of the facts, testimonies and evidence presented during the investigations carried out.
However, in an interview with PUNCH, the discharged soldier explained what played out in details.
Ogunleye said: “This incident occurred in 2022 when I was serving in the Medical Corps at the Nigerian Army Cantonment Medical Centre, Ojo, Lagos. The Colonel was the commanding officer at the time. I had only been in the unit for three weeks when he started sending me gifts, which I refused to accept.
“On February 27, 2022, he called and summoned me to meet him at the Eagleston Hotel by 5pm. When I arrived, he said he wanted to have sex with me. He offered me N50,000 to do that and even promised to help me get admitted into a military school. I refused, reminding him that it was against the Nigerian Army’s code of conduct for superiors to engage in sexual relations with subordinates.
“After that encounter, he became vindictive and began to maliciously deal with me, subjecting me to extra duties and unjust punishment.
“He later began injecting me with largactil, a drug typically administered to mentally ill patients to sedate them.”
Asked if she was conscious while he was injecting her, she replied: “Yes, but I had no choice. He would either point a gun at me or have soldiers pin me down before injecting me. Sometimes, he would personally handcuff me. He would also instruct the doctors in our unit to administer the drug. After being injected, I would be unconscious for days, completely unable to function.
“After sexually assaulting me, he would put me in a body bag and order that I be dumped at a psychiatric hospital.
“This happened several times. He didn’t allow me to attend any military courses. He denied me access to school. He didn’t allow me to visit my parents even during festive periods. I didn’t benefit from anything.
“Sometimes, he would instruct soldiers to come to my house and bring me. They would come to my house at midnight and give me the injection. There was a time he kept me in his office for four days.”

Let the military contact those people involved in the so called malicious act. I believe one if not all of them will be honest to say the truth with evidence
Fellow Nigerians I am of the knowledge that the soldiers that were ordered to bring Private Adeleye that was relieved of her service without getting justice would never own up to their involvement in the the way the Colonel abuse her human dignity and violated her human and woman rights. This goes a long
way to expose the degree of systemic decadence in the NA service. I know there is a level to which toxicologist would be able to detect the percentage of lagactil in her system.; the psychiatric hospital could be visited to confirm the her mental health whenever she taken to the hospital, CSOs can visit her service provider’s data base to extract the discussion and content of the conversation.
NA should clear the organisation of this allegation by doing the needful.
