Nigerian Army explains reason behind continuing detention of Corporal Amina Maidoki
The Nigerian Army claimed that Corporal Amina Maidoki's ongoing imprisonment was necessary to conduct a thorough investigation into the theft claim made against her and that due process governs all disciplinary actions taken by the Nigerian Army.
According to the DOROTV, Amina Sani Maidoki, a 25-year-old female soldier, was detained when her wife, Salamatu Faruk Yahaya, the wife of former Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya (retd), claimed that $50,000 disappeared from her Abuja home.
