Ayeni said that the General Officer Commanding (GO ) 81 Division, Maj.-Gen. Farouk Mijinyawa, commiserated with the family of the deceased and the Nigeria Police on the unfortunate incident.

The spokesperson said that Nigerian Army would continue to collaborate with other security agencies to ensure security of lives and property in line with the constitutional mandate of the Nigerian Army.

“The soldier suspected to have committed the offence has since been apprehended and handed over to the Military Police for investigation and further disciplinary procedures,” he said.

“The incident is highly regrettable, given the Division’s commitment to the Nigerian Army Code of Conduct and Rules of Engagement.

“The Nigerian Army continuously sensitised its personnel not to engage in activities that would tarnish its image and bridge the trust with other security agencies and the civil populace.

“The Division reassures the general public that a thorough investigation will be conducted, and appropriate disciplinary measures will be taken to ensure that justice is served,” he said.
