33-Year-Old Army Officer Arrested For Stealing Toyota Corolla In Abuja by Nobody: 12:11pm On Apr 20, 2025

A 33-year-old Nigerian Army personnel has been arrested by the police in the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, for attempting to sell a stolen vehicle.

Zagazola Makama, a counter-insurgency expert focused on the Lake Chad region, disclosed this in a post on his X handle on Sunday.

Makama said the suspect, identified as Lance Corporal Yusuf Yunnusa, is attached to the 82 Battalion in Rukuba, Plateau State.

The security expert disclosed that he was apprehended at about 1630 hours on April 19 at Mamu Filling Station in Lambata, Kwali, following actionable intelligence that someone was attempting to sell a Toyota Corolla without documents.

“The security personnel swiftly launched a surveillance operation that resulted in Yunnusa’s arrest. A Toyota Corolla LE, with registration number ABC 570 FJ and an ash-colored exterior, was recovered from the suspect,” Makama added.

He further stated that Yunnusa confessed during interrogation to stealing the vehicle from its parking spot at the Federal Secretariat in Abuja on April 17, 2025, around 1200 hours.

The security expert stated that the suspect had brought the car to Kwali with the intention of selling it but was caught by the police before completing the transaction.

The suspect is currently in custody, undergoing further interrogation.

What a country huh

Other reasonable counties take adequate care of their security personnels, but in Nigeria, it's entirely different ball game.

Majority of the security personnels here survive by cutting corners or engaging in criminal activities.

Only God knows how many guns and ammunitions of the Nigeria Army these one must have sold to bandit's and Boko Haram.
One of the many bad eggs in the Army.
This is express dismissal and DHL to Kuje prison.
He should face the wrath of the Law.

We need more of such recoveries.
