Female officer outshines colleagues
Meanwhile, YEN,com earlier reported that the video of a female soldier in a competition with her male colleagues at a gun-arrangement competition stirred massive reactions from social media users.
In the short clip shared by @Instablog9ja on Instagram, the soldiers stood backing decoupled rifles as a man behind the camera acted as their umpire.
After the referee declared the game open, they turned and set down to work. The lady arranged every piece in a fast and assured way.
