Two Nigerian soldiers who were being court-martialled in the 82 Division of the Nigerian Army for murder have been freed and re-absorbed into service, multiple military sources have told SaharaReporters. The two soldiers are Pte Usman Shonva and another identified only as Audu. While Shonva allegedly shot and killed one of his course mates in Ohoafia, Abia State in 2022, Audu was accused of killing a Togolese national and one other person in Anambra State.
The 6 Division of the Nigerian Army in Rivers State said, on Tuesday, that its troops arrested 12 oil thieves and an alleged fake soldier, Desmond Okeh.
