A lady Speaks Out Against Alleged Abuse in the Nigerian Army

Agoba Maria, a Nigerian female soldier, has courageously come forward with a grave and upsetting plea. She is making direct demands of the Nigerian Army's highest command and the President. Maria alleges that senior officials in the service have mistreated her severely and persistently.

 

Her tragic story implies that she was targeted for a very private and distressing cause. She argues that she lacks significant connections—a "godfather"—and, critically, she refuses to give in to unwanted demands. She alleges that she was coerced into having sex with senior personnel.

 

Maria claims that the circumstances eventually grew so intolerable that she made the decision to leave the Army on her own volition. She has spent thirteen years serving her country. She asserts that the intimidation persisted even after she left the service.

 

Maria relates a disturbing intensification of the alleged abuse. The officeers allegedly made threats against her life. She claims she was imprisoned in a guard room during one horrifying episode, and amazingly, her three-year-old child was with her. She further claims that a private soldier was then told to attack her and her young child.

 

There was more to the ordeal. Maria says she was suddenly charged with the same assault following this claimed attack. She was charged with assaulting the private soldier who had allegedly abused her and threatening senior superiors. In addition to all of this annoyance, she says she was later demoted from her position and denied access to her own child.

 

Her former coworkers are now allegedly attempting to hurt her even more. Even after she officially resigned and was awarded a voluntary resignation certificate, she believes they are attempting to cancel her certificate. If they succeed, she believes she will be fully stripped of her service perks after 13 years of dedication to the Army. Agoba Maria is pleading with the highest authorities for justice and protection.
