Army Arrests Soldiers In Viral Video

The Nigerian Army, 9 Brigade, Ikeja Military Cantonment, Lagos State has arrested two soldiers seen in a video that went viral on social media, threatening to molest women in the Warri area of Delta State and using uncouth and uncivilised language.

In the video, the soldiers had threatened to carry out a spree of rape of women in Warri, with one of them threatening to inflict the women with the deadly HIV virus.

But the Nigerian Army, on Twitter, said the soldiers were arrested on Friday after the video went viral, adding that investigations were ongoing into the incident.
