Ogunleye Ruth, a female member of the Nigerian military, has taken to TikTok to share her distressing experiences of alleged mistreatment by her superiors, specifically naming Col. IB Abdulkareem, Col. GS Ogor, and Brig. Gen. IB Solebo. Ruth claims that her life has become a living nightmare, and she's calling on Nigerians, human rights activists, and organizations to come to her aid.
In her emotional TikTok video, posted under the username @Ogunleyeruthsavage1, Ruth bravely details the alleged abuses she has endured at the hands of her superiors. She explicitly accuses Col. IB Abdulkareem of attempting to rape her, injecting her, evicting her, and forcibly confining her to a psychiatric hospital for months. Ruth asserts that her refusal of Col. Abdulkareem's advances resulted in vindictive actions, including denial of promotion courses.
The gravity of these accusations is underscored by Ruth's claim that even her father's intervention failed to bring relief, with Col. Abdulkareem allegedly responding, "Obey the last command."
Ruth anticipates backlash for her revelations, expressing fear of arrest and retribution. Her call for help is an urgent plea to Nigerians, human rights advocates, and organizations to intervene on her behalf.
This story unravels a distressing narrative that not only exposes alleged abuses within the Nigerian military but also raises broader questions about the treatment of female personnel and the systemic challenges they may face.
