A Nigerian Army soldier serving under the 156 Task Force Battalion, Operation Hadin Kai located in dake Mainok has been arrested for stealing and supplying military ammunition to terrorists and bandits in the region.
The soldier, Iorliam Emmanuel, who hailed from Benue State, allegedly has been in the business of stealing and selling ammunition to criminal gangs suspected to be terrorists and bandits.
The ammunition were usually sown unto his uniform.
According to Zagazola@ZagazOlaMakama, Security Analyst, Counter Insurgency Expert, LakeChad & West Africa, “another Suspect apprehended Iorliam Emmanuel is working under the 156 Task Force Battalion dake Mainok, Operation Hadin Kai.
“The soldier who hailed from Benue State usually steal ammunition and supply to criminal gangs suspected to be bandits. He would face the full wrath of the law.”
However, Nigerians express doubts if this particular suspect will receive appropriate treatment under the law, as they felt he might be released so does not spill the bean.
“We have heard this type of stories before now. Several soldiers and other law enforcement agents had been arrested in the past. What happened thereafter?
“There are lots of unpatriotic people occupying prominent positions in government, including mostly in the security cycles. What happened with the Wadume case? Is it not dead, even with a court judgment to back it up?
“What about all those that the late Alhaji Ali Kwara had been arresting? Has any of those matters been 3nded as they ought to have been?
“What they do if the public will immediately know their plots is to charge such people to court but would not carry out diligent prosecution and also collude with unscrupulous judges and set such people free. We in a big mess here in Nigeria,” a respondent who is a retired military officer stated.
