The military hierarchy is said to have locked up a Lance Corporal seen in a viral video speaking against the controversial new parliamentary chamber.
The Lance Corporal in the video cited among other reasons the need for the Parliament to prioritize projects that would solve the massive social infrastructure deficit including the lack of hospitals, schools, potable water and good roads.
According to reports, the alleged locked up officer is likely to spend about a month in detention in accordance with military regulations.
His comments amount to an offence described in the military as ‘disloyalty’.
