The Nigerian Army fired two soldiers assigned to the 241 Recce Battalion, Nguru, Yobe State after finding them guilty on two-count charge.
Lt. Col. Ibrahim Abdullahi Osabo, the acting commanding officer of the battalion, stated that the accused were found guilty on two counts: failing to complete military responsibilities and acting in a way that jeopardized service discipline.
Before being finally fired, the suspects had their ranks changed from lance corporal to private.
It could be recalled that after allegedly killing a renowned Islamic cleric named Sheikh Goni Aisami in cold blood, Yobe State police detained Lance Corporal John Gabriel with service number N/A13/69/1522 and Lance Corporal Adamu Gideon with service number N/A13/70/6552, both assigned to 241 Recce Battalion, Nguru, Yobe State.
