The Nigerian Army says it has commenced investigation into a
speculation over the gruesome murder and extortion of a woman by security
operatives in Katsina State.
According to the army, it was alleged that the woman was
arrested in a commercial vehicle with money estimated to be N420,000 by members
of a local vigilante group on Wednesday, 7 May 2021, at about 10:00 pm, in
Yankara village, along Funtua-Gusau road and was handed over to the troops in
order to find out the source of the money.
This was contained in a press statement signed by the
Director, Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, saying that
a few days later the woman was said to have been killed by the troops.
“The Nigerian Army therefore wishes to inform the general
public that it has commenced investigation into the matter and assure the
public that anyone found wanting in connection with the allegation will be made
to face the full wrath of the law. The Army pleads with the general public to
remain calm as it is determined to get to the root of the matter
“Nigerian Army once again reiterates its commitment to the
protection of lives and properties of the citizens in accordance with its
constitutional responsibility and strict adherence to the rules of engagements
in its operations. Therefore, the Nigeria Army will not tolerate any act of
misconduct and un professionalism from its personnel.”
