 Nigerian Army Dismissed Air Force Officer over Battering and Stripping Naked of a Nurse - Report.
It was reported Mr Ovie flown into rage and beat up the nurse to the point of stripping her naked. It took the intervention of a fellow nurse, who bit his hand to put an end to the assault.

Other nurses, patients and sympathisers also tried to intervene to stop the brutal attack on the nurse.

 

Mr Ovie went into hiding, when it dawned on him the gravity of what he had done. Unfortunately, hospital records was used to trace him to Kaduna Air Force base and was brought to answer for his crime.

 

This led to an indefinite strike by NANNM DELSUTH demanding for the following:

 

1. The arrest of the assailant Mr Ovie Doghro and his prosecution in the court of law

 

2. An apology letter to the nurse from Mr Ovie

 

3. Payment of restitution and for injuries and damages to the nurse.

 

4. The provision of protection & security to the hospital by its management to prevent such further occurrences.  

Mr Ovie and Nigerian Air Force Minister of Defence, Attorney General of the Federation

was also sued to court to pay the sum of Five hundred million naira (N500,000000). He apologised and pleaded with the hospital management to settle out of court but NANNM DELSUTH refused and insisted on going to court. However after much pleading and intervention by the Nigerian Army, they settled for Five Million Naira (N5000000).
