Nigerian Army Arresting Female Soldier For Accepting Marriage Proposal Is Madness – Reno Omokri
Former Presidential spokesperson to Goodluck Ebele Jonathan on New Media, Reno Omokri has urged authorities in the Nigerian Army to use the case of a female soldier, Private Sofiyat Akinlabi who publicly in military uniform accepted a marriage proposal from a National Youth Service Corps member at the National Orientation Camp in Yikpata, Kwara State to promote love and boost troops morale against the army plans to penalize the female private soldier.
Reno Omokri in a statement yesterday asked if it is not madness for the Nigerian Army to be seen rehabilitating Boko Haram terrorists and penalizing a colleague for accepting a marriage proposal from a corps member.
Nigerian Army through his spokesperson, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu had confirmed the arrest of the female private soldier.
According to Punch Newspaper, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu said the private female soldier goes against the army social media laws and other rules and regulations in the Nigerian Army.
Some of the rules of engagement in the Nigerian Army said Private Sofiyat Akinlabi allegedly violated include: Not due for marriage, Romancing in uniform publicly, Absent from parade, Unprofessional/Indiscipline behaviour, Doing other things outside of her job description at the NYSC Camp, Disobedience to standing order of social media rule and Disregard of Nigerian Army professional ethics.
Reno Omokri citing a case of Turkish soldier who proposed marriage to his girl friend during oath taking ceremony, said the Nigerian Army should have promoted the love story between Private Soldier Sofiyat Akinlabi and the NYSC member as a recruitment tool.
“This Turkish soldier proposed to his girlfriend during his oath taking ceremony, and Generals of the Turkish army got up and clapped.
“Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army, that is currently rehabilitating Boko Haram, is penalizing Private Hannah Sofiyat for accepting a proposal from a corper?
“Is that not madness? The Nigerian Army should have promoted the love story as a recruitment tool. They should have brought in the cameras and celebrated the couple. It would have built morale. But instead, they chose to punish love!”, Reno Omokri said.

Many Nigerians have continued to condemn the army authorities over the arrest and detention of the private female soldier, saying, the Constitution of Nigeria which supercedes the code of conducts or professional ethics of the Nigerian Army guarantees freedom and liberty to associate.
OsazuwaAkonedo reports that the ethics or internal policies of many organizations in Nigeria do not conform with the 1999 Nigeria Constitution, giving the organizations opportunity to oppress and intimidate workers or staff excerpt those who decided to take the organization to court.

“357 captives walked free in the latest coordinated effort, other captives had been released in phases over the preceding months, bringing the total number of freed captives to 434”, this, we had reported that Youths in Borno State under the umbrella body of Borno South Youth Alliance, BOSYA has insisted that the Federal Government of Nigeria under the leadership of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu did nothing to secure the release of the 416 women and children held hostage by Boko Haram terrorists for more than 90 days they were taken into the bush since March 2026, also, the youth group dismissed and rejected the report of the Nigerian Army who had alleged that its men rescued 360 out of the 416 people held hostage through intelligent driven efforts, saying, they have an audio record of the conversation they had with the Boko Haram terrorists on Friday June 5th, 2026 before the Boko Haram terrorists decided to release the captives willingly, adding, “If they paid ransom, they should come out and tell Nigerians, which we have the full details if ransoms was paid or not, as Senator Ali Ndume automatically started thanking President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is there something Nigerians Need to know that is Hidden”, it maybe recalled that we have reported that barely a day after President Donald Trump of the United States of America, the USA announced the killing of Abu Bilal al-Minuki, the second in command of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, ISIS in a joint operation with Nigeria soldiers in Borno State, a new video of the abducted 416 women and children in Boko Haram captivity has been released in addition to a gory video earlier released by the terrorists wherein they beheaded almost six men who the insurgents said tried to escape among the kidnapped victims, this had led to public outcry and demonstrations, but according to Punch Newspaper, protesters are reportedly denied the rights to protest in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, saying, the Army reportedly deployed tanks and heavily armed personnel to Filling Polo, the venue of the recent planned protest, forcing the demonstrators to withdraw, quoting Samaila Kaigama, leader of the protesters, as saying; the atmosphere created by the military deployment made it impossible for citizens to continue with the demonstration, that the development is deeply disturbing in a constitutional democracy, it may also be recalled that we had reported that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria may have kept mute since more than 48 hours a faction of the Boko Haram terrorists showed off 416 people mostly women and children kidnapped and held hostage when the members of the Jama’atu Ahlis-Sunna Lidda’Awati Wal-Jihad, JAS, launched a large scale combat actions between 4th to 6th March 2026 against the men of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, AFN, overran the Africa country military base at Ngoshe, killing several soldiers, a figure the Nigeria authority disputed to be 14 after several reports indicated that more than 40 soldiers were killed during the attack, in addition to more than 100 civilians including Chief Iman of Ngoshe alongside the community elders killed during the coordinated attacks that lasted days at Ngoshe community in Gwoza local government area of Borno state, this, during the attacks, numbers of people were also taken hostage by the insurgents, with speculations indicating that the hostages are apparently being held at the rugged terrain of the Mandara Mountains, which sit wide across the Nigeria border with Cameroon, in the released video, one of the spokespersons of the Boko Haram group said they decided to release a proof of life video of the 416 women and children in their captivity, following the demands made #OsazuwaAkone
