Lawyer petitions Buratai over sack of female soldier raped by 5 bandits
The female soldier was dismissed after getting pregnant following the rape by the bandits who attacked their vehicle while she was on transit from Lagos to Oyo state.
Barrister Oyewole described the dismissal of the soldier as unlawful after the ordeal she went through in the hands of criminal elements, insisting that his client would be recalled to continue serving her fatherland. The lawyer noted in the appeal to Buratai that the victim enlisted in the Army in March 2012 as a member of 67 Regular Recruits intake, and was serving with 56 Signal Command, Mile 2, Lagos, before the incident.
”It is manifest that the purported trial of our client was tainted with substantial irregularities; there is no offence under the law and no element of the offence of misconduct prejudicial to service discipline that talks of pregnancy while in service and warranted dismissal under section 103 ,” Oyewole argued.
