The Nigerian Army has arrested the soldiers in the viral video threatening to molest as well as rape women in Warri, Delta State.
It said the personnel were arrested on Friday evening at 9 Brigade Ikeja Military Cantonment in Lagos State.
The Nigerian Army confirmed the arrest of the soldiers in a statement via its verified Twitter handle.
The irate soldiers had threatened to molest Warri women over alleged beating of two military men following the killing of a 28-year-old Joseph Pessu by a soldier on Thursday.
But the Nigerian Army in the state said it had commenced investigation of the soldiers and appropriate sanction will be meted out to the officers at the end of its investigation.

According to it, “Soldiers in a viral video using uncouth and uncivilized language purportedly threatening to molest women in Warri Delta State were arrested at 9 Brigade Ikeja Military Cantonment Lagos State today 3 April 2020 and further investigation is ongoing.
“The general public should be assured that the investigations will be swift and fair in accordance with applicable military laws. The outcome of the investigations will determine the most appropriate disciplinary measures that can be taken in the circumstances.”
The statement stressed that the army will not tolerate any act of indiscipline by its personnel.
“The Nigerian Army wishes to reiterate that it would not tolerate any form of irresponsibility and indiscipline on the part of any of its personnel”, he added.
Why he lock down in Delta State when there is no case anyone infected? The borders can be shut but people should be allowed to go about their daily activities.
Are you an illiterate or you really don’t know what is going on. You want to see a case before you lock down abi? It’s careless attitide like what you are asking now that led to what is happening today on Italy. Do you know if anyone has entered the state with it. Waka waka!!! Stay home. If Nigeria has shut down their borders immediately the cases started increasing in other countries it wouldn’t have come to this stage. Be safe.
Do we have brothel
The above statement is a lie, if the Nigerian Army has truly arrested those soldier’s in the video what are their names and where are they from? Please this information should be made available for the general public. Thanks
