The Nigerian Army has cleared it’s name from the viral video that has been on the internet.
In a statement signed and made public on 4th May by the Director Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima said the attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a video which has gone viral on the social media alleging that a soldier, Lance Corporal Adamu Galadima, was involved in an alleged case of kidnapp and murder of his neighbour’s child after collecting the sum of N5m as ransom.
The Nigerian Army stated that the information contained in the video is not true.
It said contrary to the claim, Lance Corporal Adamu Galadima was duly dismissed from the Nigerian Army in 2013 after a General Court Marshal that held in Kaduna had found him guilty.
His last unit was 2 Provost Group where he was involved in a case of attempted murder leading to his arrest and prosecution before the General Court Marshal in Kaduna.
After his dismissal, Adamu found his way to Kaduna State Environmenta Services where he secured a job as a cleaner.
Yerima affirmed that Galadima is therefore, not a personnel of Nigerian Army as at April 2021 when he committed the alleged crime.
It said that the Nigerian Army remains a disciplined organisation that will not condone any unprofessional conduct on the part of its officers and soldiers.
He urged the general public to ignore the misleading story currently being shared in the social media.
