Court flays FG's handling of female Air Force personnel’s rape case | The Nation

with the Nigerian Air Force, Beauty Igbobie Uzezi, who allegedly suffered sexual assault and rape in the hand of a superior officer.

The court condemned what it described as the impunity displayed by the NAF authorities and by implication the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in the grievous violation of respect to the dignity of the applicant and for failing to take a cue from the medical reports emanating from the repeated visits of the applicant to the hospital which authenticated rape and consequential infection and depression.

She also allegedly suffered from intermittent fainting spells, severe vaginal discharge, chronic lower pains, dizziness and swollen vulva. It held that “member states have the responsibility under international human rights law to respect, protect and fulfil the human rights treaties that they are parties to. In this wise, there is an undeniable responsibility on States to prevent sexual violence from occurring, and to investigate and punish all cases of human rights violations, including rape, which is a violation of Article 5 of the African Charter.

The court found that the rape of the applicant resulted in the medical conditions alleged, including severe depression and held that the Respondent violated the applicants Right to Health, contrary to Article 16 of the African Charter. On the applicant’s allegation of the unlawful dismissal from work contrary to Article 15 of the African Charter, she alleged that on the 19th day of October 2015, she was dismissed orally when one Squadron Leader Ejiga informed her that she has been dismissed from NAF without adherence to the laid down procedure of the Armed Forces Act after which she was bundled to the guardroom to serve 98 days imprisonment with hard labour.
