This story is not clear, I sense some lies. This is a makeup script for claims of stolen money that will be embezzled. They drove 400km from Sokoto to Jaji and they didn't steal the money all along the unsecured road not until they got to Jaji military base that is highly secured before they struck without any resistance, just 5 soldiers? Please, this is not possible. This will require a deep investigation to unravel the truth.

You can't leave the Army easily. He told me many of his friends have deserted by finding their way to Dubai. But it's not easy for everyone to do.

PRESS RELEASE

RE: Nigerian Soldiers On Escort Duty Abscond With Billions of Naira

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to some media reports fallaciously suggesting that billions of Naira was carted away by troops on Operation HARBIN KUNAMA 111 Sokoto assigned to escort Very Important Personality (VIP) to Kaduna.

Accordingl to the wrong media report - "Some personnel of the Nigerian Army absconded with "billions of naira" while on escort duty",

While it was true the personnel have absconded with large amounts of money belonging to a VIP they were assigned to escort to Kaduna, the exact amount is not known to 8 Division Nigerian Army or the then General Officer Commanding (GOC) the Division, Major General HO Otiki as was fallaciously imputed in some unverified media reports.

It should be important to clarify that neither the GOC or any personnel of the Division is aware of the exact amount of money in possession of the VIP at the time of this uncommon, embrassing, obnoxious and painful incident. It is only the person involved (the VIP) that knows the total amount involved and disclose to the media if need be.

In the face of this disgraceful, embrassing and unimaginable professional infraction by the five soldiers, who conived and orchestrated the robbery and thereafter deserted/ absconded, the Nigerian Army authority has on receiving the report, constituted a high powerered committee to holistically, thoroughly and decisively investigate the sad incident.

For record and posterity, this was what happened and has since been reported to all the Nigerian Army formations and units and the public for awareness and possible arrest of the criminals when seen:

"The under listed 5 soldiers of operation HARBIN KUNAMA III Sokoto were detailed on escort duty from Sokoto to Kaduna at about 1500 hours on 11th July 2019. The VIP was in a white Hilux, while the escorts were in a Buffalo gun truck. The soldiers conived and robbed the VIP at gun point on their way to Kaduna. They however abandoned the gun truck at the airstrip in Jaji. They have since scattered in different directions including Jos, Suleja etc as indicated in last geoloc tracking".

"Nigerians are by this notice advised to intercept the following individuals or report them to any police station:
1. Cpl Gabriel Oluwaniyi 07083502341 08063406601.
2. Cpl Mohammed Aminu 07034619455.
3. LCpl Commander Haruna 08039594638.
4 LCpl Oluji Joshua 08137622689.
5. LCpl Hayatudeen 08033756986.

All the above listed 5 soldiers were attached from Infantry Corp Centre Jaji".

All formations and units of the Nigerian Army have been alerted and requested to direct their men to be on the look out for these 5 deserting and disgraceful soldiers. They are to be apprehended and handed over to 8 Div Provost Group for prompt action/ prosecution.

The Nigerian Army as a respected institution, under the able leadership of Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, will do all that is necessary to fish out these criminals. Such kinds of individuals, once discovered, - have no place in today's Nigerian Army.

Nikes:
Every allowance coming from the FG is either cut in half or totally blocked by our generals dem. The Naval officers have also learned what syphoning is about,from the army. Soldiers hardly get there allowances paid in full. Not even there salaries. Going by the documented salary structure of the army, a PTE isnt suppose to be paid 48000 as basic salary. It's supposed to be way more than that. Every soldier on operation is entitled to his RCA. But today, even those is the front(Borno,Adamawa, etc)only get stipends. True, no organization in Nigeria is as strong and as corrupt as the Nigerian Military.

As for the men, it would only take the grace of God for dem not to get caught


as in eh!
Im just trying to put myself in their shoes if I will be able to resist

Why would they be requested to move billions of naira from the theatre of operation to Abuja? The GoC, I'm sure is under investigation right now.

As much as we condemn crime,we should also look into how our military men are taken care of,the generals are subjugating them to eternal poverty,an other rank in the military is equal to a slave,you risk ur life and in the end you are given pea nut as pay,and all the allowances they are supposed to collect is being diverted by the ogas at the top..
Our politicians are not also helping matter
A senators one month pay covers the whole 35yrs of an AWO.
This incident should let them know that this generations soldier can't keep quite while being cheated .
A word is enough for the wise
FG should look into the welfare packages of it's soldiers.
Stop saying what you don't know. A senators 1 month pay does not cover the whole 35 years of an AWO
