A Nigerian female soldier was discharged from duty after admitting to stealing gold jewellery valued at N35 million from the wife of an army general she was assigned to in Kaduna.
Sources in the army identified the female soldier as Lance Corporal Jonah Comfort, with service number 15NA/74/4422F.
The female soldier stole the jewellery and subsequently sold the jewellery to a jeweller in Kaduna for N5 million.
According to a source, “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.”
Reports have it that the army authorities did not want the public to know about the incident as it might lead to a debate as to how the senior officer’s wife acquired jewellery worth millions of Naira despite being a housewife.
