Lt. Chuka Anele, a female military officer caught on tape dehumanizing a member of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Ms Ezeiruka Fidelis, in Calabar has been called out by Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
 
The apex Igbo socio-cultural group lambasted Anele, saying she went too far.
 
The group described the action of Lt. Chuka Anele in the 13 Brigade, Calabar, as unprofessional and commended the Nigerian Army for its quick response to the unfortunate incident.
 
Recall that a video went viral on Thursday, showing a female military officer pouring dirty water and hitting a female corps member who was forced to kneel down while the act went on.
 
The Nigerian Army, through its spokesperson Brig.- Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, has since condemned the assault on the corps member.
 
The army further tendered an apology to the victim, her family members, friends, the NYSC and to Nigerians in general for the incident.
 
Nwachukwu also denied reports that the 13 Brigade where the incident happened attempted to cover up the matter, he said the army remains a professional force that has zero tolerance for indiscipline amongst its personnel.
 
He said the Brigade Commander has already constituted an investigation into the ugly incident and the officer involved has been identified and sanctioned.
 
In a statement signed by its official, Mr Ugoji Nwabueze, Ohanaeze maintained that Anaele’s action is highly barbaric and unacceptable from an officer.
 
It said, “Regrettably, the act has placed the integrity and  public relations principles of  the army vefore the Court of public conscience.
 
“In a democratic nation, the bar of  expectation for the protection of  fundamental rights of citizen is sacrosanct and the demand even higher.

“No matter the height of provocation, Anele crossed the red line of decorum and decency expected of an officer of that level.

“We commend the quick intervention of the Brigade Commander who when his attention was drawn immediately instituted an investigation that led to the identification and possible arrest of the suspect.

”We are told that she will undergo regimental orders  in line with the extant provisions of the Armed Forces Act.”
 
The Igbo cultural organisation however urged the Nigerian Army to use serious infractions like this to convince Nigerians of its determination to bring discipline into its rank and file.
 
“We are further pleased with the civility shown by the Nigerian Army in tendering  unreserved apology to the victim, her family members, friends, NYSC and to Nigerians in general for the unwholesome treatment to the corps member.

“The message is clear that better days of military and civilian mutual relationship has finally come,” the statement added.
