A female soldier from Nigeria was fired for stealing. She admitted to taking gold jewelry worth N35 million from the wife of an army general she was assigned to in Kaduna.
The soldier, identified as Lance Corporal Jonah Comfort, stole the jewelry in May. She sold it to a jeweler in Kaduna for N5 million.
The army did not want the incident to become public as it could raise questions about how the officer’s wife got expensive jewelry despite being a housewife. The jeweler was also arrested by military police.
“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,” one of the sources said.
“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.”
