The Chief of Army Staff, Lt-Gen Faruk Yahaya, has ordered the immediate release of the love-struck female soldier who publicly accepted the marriage proposal of a corps member in Kwara State.
The Director Army Public Relations, Brig-Gen Onyema Nwachukwu, confirmed the release of the embattled soldier.
Yahaya, however, ordered the erring soldier to be cautioned against engaging in any act that contravenes the military code of conduct for its officers and men.
Lt-Gen Yahaya said the female soldier should be released to enjoy Christmas with family and friends.
The video clip of a male corps member proposing to a female soldier at the Yikpata Orientation Camp of the NYSC in Kwara State recently surfaced online and went viral.
In one of the video clips, some corps members were seen having a discussion at a venue believed to be the parade ground of the orientation camp.
While the discussion was going on, a corps member, who is seen holding a ring, went down on one knees, and asked the soldier…
The corps member then went on to insert the ring in the finger of the visibly excited soldier amid cheers from others at the scene.
The lady excitedly hugged the young man, bent over and planted a sustained kiss on his lips, eliciting more rapturous applause from the on-lookers.
