Army dismisses six soldiers for killing NDLEA official
SIX soldiers allegedly responsible for the death of an NDLEA official, Kingsley Chimetalo, have been court-martialed and dismissed by the Nigeria Army.
The four dismissed soldiers include 24-year-old Sani Munzani, 26-year-old Abubakar Auwalu, 23-year-old Abubakar Sani and 22-year-old Muazu Hassan.
It was learnt that the soldiers killed the NDLEA official in March 2024 when they attacked some NDLEA personnel for stopping them during a stop and search operation at Ramat Junction in Bida.
The fight led to Chimetalo being stabbed in the back with a jack knife by one of the suspects while his rifle was taken away.
