The Headquarters of the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps (NAOC) on Thursday, July 23, declared a soldier, Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu, wanted over his involvement in the sale and supply of military uniforms to terrorists and other criminal elements.
It was gathered that the soldier, who was serving at the Nigerian Army Ordnance Kits Factory, absconded from his unit on June 3 and his whereabouts remain unknown to the authorities of the headquarters.
Consequently, he has been declared wanted by the appropriate military authorities, while intensive efforts are underway to locate and apprehend him to face a full investigation and appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with extant military laws.
The corps therefore said it is appealing to members of the public to provide credible information that could lead to the arrest of the wanted soldier, adding that cuch information should be reported immediately to the nearest military formation or any security agency.
“The Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps wishes to state unequivocally that it has zero tolerance for misconduct, indiscipline, or any act capable of compromising the operational effectiveness, integrity and reputation of the Nigerian Army or threatening national security.
Any personnel found to have aided terrorists, criminals or other non-state actors through the unauthorised sale, diversion or distribution of military uniforms, accoutrements or other controlled items will be subjected to the full weight of military and civil laws,” the army said in a statement issued on Thursday.
