In the viral video, the commissioned female Army officer identified as Lieutenant Chika Anele was seen pouring muddy water on a youth corps member, Ezeiruaku Fidelia, who was in her uniform.

The corps member was said to be serving at the 13 Brigade headquarters in Calabar.

Describing the act as unprofessional, the Director of army public relations, Brigadier General Onyema Nwachukwu in a statement on Thursday noted that the action is against established precepts of discipline in the service.
