The Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Farouk Yahaya, on Tuesday, decried the increasing cases of sexual abuse within military across the country.

He blamed the menace on the absence of soldiers at the home front as they are always away to protect the nation from external and internal forces.

The COAS who was represented by Brigadier General Mark Mamman, the Commandant of the Nigeria Army School of Military Engineering, NASME, disclosed this at the 2021 Conference of Nigerian Armed Forces Catholic Chaplains in Makurdi, Benue State, with the theme ‘The role of military chaplains in present-day challenges of insecurity and moral decadence’.

“The horrible effect of experiencing abuse and neglect in childhood can lead to adverse outcomes in adulthood.

“The consequences of experiencing child abuse do vary considerably. For some adults, the effects of child abuse and neglect are chronic and debilitating, which can lead to debased character and behaviour.”
