A female soldier, Lance Corporal Jonah Comfort, has been dismissed for allegedly stealing gold jewellery worth N35 million from the Nigerian Army General’s wife she was attached to in Kaduna State.
It was gathered that Comfort allegedly committed the offence recently in Kaduna.
The soldier was said to have entered the senior officer’s room, stole the jewellery, and sold it to a jeweller in Kaduna for N5 million.
“The army authorities have been careful over the issue because the General’s wife is a full housewife. So how come she has jewellery worth millions of naira? The jewellery stolen by the soldier which was valued at N35 million was just part of her collections.
“The female soldier had long been monitoring the woman before stealing the jewellery worth N35 million which she later sold to one jeweller for N5 million but unfortunately she was caught.
“Sadly, most of these female soldiers have been turned into slaves by our senior officers’ wives. Now she has been dismissed and put in a cell,” a source told Sahara Reporters.
This comes a few days after the army authorities dismissed three soldiers who were arrested by the police for armed robbery and kidnapping.
