Nigerian Army Arrests Personnel In Possession Of Illegal Ammunition by Kennitrust(m): 10:23am On May 10
The Nigerian Army (NA) has apprehended a personnel over illegal possession of ammunition and explosives during a routine search operation by the Military Police K9 Team, at the Borno Express Terminal in Maiduguri, Borno State.

The soldier, Lance Corporal Mubarak Yakubu was found in possession of 756 rounds of 7.62 mm special ammunition and four 36 hand grenades, ingeniously concealed within a small bag of rice.

A statement by the Director Army Public Relations Onyema Nwachukwu says the arrest underscores Nigerian Army’s zero-tolerance policy towards any form of illegal activity or contravention of military regulations by its personnel.

Preliminary investigation revealed that the soldier had been de-inducted from active theatre operations in March 2024 and was undergoing de-induction training at the Nigerian Army School of Infantry.

The soldier was on a welfare pass from Jaji to Kaduna and Adamawa from April 30, 2024, to May 13, 2024, when the arrest took place.

General Nwachukwu assures the public that the Nigerian Army will continue to act decisively to maintain discipline within its ranks and ensure the security of all Nigerians.

The soldier in question is currently in custody and a thorough investigation has commenced to ascertain the full circumstances surrounding this incident and to apply the appropriate disciplinary measures.
