The Nigerian Army has dismissed two soldiers, CPL Innocent Joseph and L/CPL Jacob Gani, for allegedly stealing armoured cables at the Dangote Refinery in Lagos.
According to a statement released on Monday by Army Spokesperson Onyema Nwachukwu, the suspects were investigated in collaboration with the refinery management. They were found guilty of unauthorized possession of the cables and summarily tried under the Armed Forces Act.
“In line with our commitment to professionalism, integrity, and discipline, the two soldiers have been dismissed from the NA and handed over for further prosecution,” the statement said.
The Army condemned the incident, stating that it tarnishes its image and undermines public trust. It reaffirmed its zero-tolerance policy for misconduct and criminal activities within its ranks.
The Army also assured the public of its dedication to upholding integrity, discipline, and accountability at all levels. It urged the public to support its efforts in maintaining law and order, safeguarding national security, and promoting peace and stability. CONTINUE READING
