Nigerian Soldier Dismissed ‘Few Days To Decoration With New Rank’ For Stealing Mobile Phone
A Nigerian soldier, Lance Corporal Kenewenimo Lokoja, has been dismissed from service for stealing his colleague’s phone.
According to sources, the incident occurred while Lokoja was on a course sponsored by the army authorities.
What’s even more surprising is that Lokoja was just a few days away from being decorated with a new rank of Corporal. Instead, he found himself facing dismissal for his actions.
This incident is not the first of its kind in the Nigerian Army. Just a few months ago, a soldier, Private Yahaya Sani, stabbed his colleague, Private Aliyu Musa, over a missing phone. The incident highlights the need for discipline and accountability within the army ranks.
The dismissal of Lokoja serves as a reminder that the Nigerian Army will not tolerate any form of indiscipline or misconduct among its personnel.
The army’s zero-tolerance policy for corruption and indiscipline is a step in the right direction towards restoring discipline and professionalism within the ranks.
