The National Youth Service Corps has expressed its support for the detention of Army Private Hannah Sofiat, who was proposed to by a corps member at the NYSC orientation camp in Yikpata, Kwara State.
Brig.-Gen. Ibrahim Shuaibu, Director-General of the NYSC, stated at a press conference on Tuesday, December 21, that the Army is a strong institution founded on discipline.
According to him, "Every organisation has its own customs and traditions, and we have to abide by it. We, on our part, have spoken to our corps members.
"We encourage them to inter-marry, but we have never had a situation where a corps member will go and propose (to a soldier).
"The Army has its own tradition and they will not joke with it. So, we always tell our corps members to play by the rules.
"I can assure that the army as an institution is built on its customs and traditions, and anything that will impinge on discipline, they will not take it lightly."
