A yet-to-be identified female soldier has allegedly been detained by the Nigerian Army after video clips of her being proposed to by a male corps member at the National Youth Service Corps orientation camp in Yikpata, Kwara State, went viral on social media.
In the viral video, the yet-to-be-identified corps member, who is seen holding a ring, went down on one knee and popped the question to the soldier with the lady accepting the proposal.
The corps member then went on to insert the ring in the finger of the visibly excited soldier amid cheers from others at the scene.
The soldier could also be seen relishing the moment as she kissed the ring at intervals with smiles etched on her face and they later shared a warm embrace.
In another clip, the corps member was seen wearing the lady’s military cap as she stood directly behind him.

According to Eons Intelligence, a platform for intelligence gathering and security updates, the female soldier had been detained by the Nigerian Army authorities after the video clip went viral.
The platform noted that a signal by the army stated that the soldier has been identified and detained at a military detention facility in Ilorin pending further investigations.
“Captain MM Abdulahi, Kwara State NYSC Camp Commandant, in the signal said the female soldier had intentionally isolated herself from other soldiers before the act,” the report read.
A military source, however, said she was detained for not “due for marriage, romancing on uniform publicly, absent on parade, indiscriminate behaviour, doing other things aside from her purpose in NYSC camp, disobedience to standing order of social media rule and disobedience to ethics and tradition of the Nigerian Army.”
According to SaharaReporters, spokesperson for the NYSC in Kwara, Oladipo Morakinyo, said that she wasn’t in position to speak on the issue.
