The Nigerian army has reacted to the brutal murder of an Army Captain killed by a junior officer which took place yesterday.
ARMY COMMISSIONS BOARD OF INQUIRY TO INVESTIGATE SHOOTING INCIDENT IN CHIBOK
The Headquarters of 28 Task Force Brigade, Nigerian Army, has
instituted a Board of Inquiry (BOI) to unravel the circumstances
surrounding the shooting incident that resulted in the death of an
Officer and a Senior Non-Commission Officer (SNCO), deployed on duty at
Chibok, Borno State earlier today Sunday, 12th November 2017.
At about 12.50pm today, the unit received a report that a Staff was
seen to be drunk and misbehaving to civilians. An officer was
despatched to the scene with a view to bring him back to base.
The officer did his best but the SNCO refused several entreaties to
calm him and be disarmed by the superior officer. Unfortunately, the
Staff Sergeant shot the officer dead and then killed himself. Their
remains have since been evacuated to a military facility. The BOI is
expected investigate the incident and promptly turn in its report and
findings in one week.
The Nigerian Army is a disciplined and professional force with zero tolerance for any acts of indiscipline and misdemeanor.
The death of the officer and the Staff Sergeant is painful and a great loss to the unit and the Nigerian Army.
