The immediate past Miss Imo State, Queen Stephenie Korie was on Saturday night humiliated by an Army officer who was not in uniform at a graduation party of her friends.
Read the story and her reaction below:
“Nigeria has turned to something else where men treat women with no respect. I’m so disappointed with our military; they treat women with no respect. I’ve been hearing stuffs about the things they do in Aba, Abia States but didn’t believe until it happened to me…
I actually went to my friends graduation party with my younger sis in my school, when all of a sudden some guys started fighting. I wasn’t comfortable so we had to go out and we where about leaving when a guy approached me (Army officer not dressed in his uniform) and asked me of the people with us; I was surprised because I was invited and didn’t know much people in the party.
But I didn’t answer him, then he told me he would slap me if I don’t tell him. I was surprised and asked him why? Before I could recall what was happening he gave me a dirty slap. Now I’m wondering; do men go about slapping any female they see or the men in our country have lost the respect they have for women?
It is a big shame for a soldier in the Nigerian army to act in such irresponsible manner.
And when he was asked why he did what he did, his reply was “do you know who I am” #StandAgainstMilitaryIntimidation #MenShouldNotHitWomenForNoReason #TheMilitaryShouldProtectAndNotIntimidateOurWomen”
This is not right…the soldier sure went out of line.
