Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Faruk Yahaya, has ordered the release of the female soldier who got engaged to a corps member at the Yikpata Orientation Camp of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) in Kwara State.

Yahaya admonished the female soldier to obey the ethics of the profession and shun indiscipline.
