Two soldiers reportedly seen on video which had gone viral molesting a woman and a youth, have been arrested and detained, the Commissioner for Youth and Sports in Oyo State, Seun Fakorede, confirmed on Monday.
BIGPEN reports the soldiers were seen in a viral video assaulting pedestrians in Ibadan, the state capital.

The military personnel reportedly proceeded to extorting their victims.

He said, “My ears are full with news of the unlawful activities of some soldiers of the Nigerian Army, over the weekend.
