Nigerian Army General Currently Detained In Abuja For Allegedly Stealing Palliative Rice, Selling Official Vehicles, Generators

A Nigerian military commander, identified Brigadier General M.A. Sadiq of 3 Brigade Kano State is currently detained in a military police guardroom in Abuja over the alleged diversion of rice palliatives, and selling of military equipment, including generator sets and operational vehicles, to scrap yards.

“Already Brigadier General A.M. Tukur, who previously served as the Registrar of the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, has been appointed to take charge of the brigade.
“Full scale investigations into the matter are ongoing. He will likely face charges at the court-martial,” the source added.

The DHQ has to formally comment on the latest development.

According to report by SaharaReporters, no fewer than 196 soldiers in the North-East and other theatres of operation have applied to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Taoreed Lagbaja, for voluntary retirement.

The action had come amid worsening security challenges the military is currently combating in most parts of the country.

Sources had told SaharaReporters that most of the soldiers resigning had cited low morale and indicated interest to join the military forces of other countries, including the British Army, Ukrainian Army, and other Commonwealth nations.

The soldiers, drawn from various formations of the army across the country according to the list obtained on Saturday, are all junior cadres.
