A female soldier, Lance Corporal Nkiru Okokwo, has been arrested for allegedly k#lling her senior colleague, Captain Bitrus Sini, in Yola, Adamawa State.
It was gathered that Nkiru was enforcing a curfew imposed by the state government when she accidentally sh%t and k#lled Sini on Monday night, August 7.
SaharaReporters reports that Nkiru sh%t Sini who intervened in an altercation between her and civilians at a checkpoint in Yola.
According to reports, Nkiru had ordered all motorists returning home during the curfew to turn back, but they explained that they were workers on essential duty.
Governor Ahmadu Fintiri last week imposed the curfew after hoodl¥ms broke into a government warehouse and looted several items, including palliatives meant to cushion the effect of fuel subsidy.
The soldier was said to be adamant despite the explanation.
“Some people stopped at the checkpoint and explained themselves as workers on essential duties, but the female soldier insisted they must turn back.
A captain came forward to intervene. Unfortunately, she had already c%cked her rifle, so she just fir£d and k#lled him accidentally,” an eyewitness told newsmen.
It was learnt that the army officer was rushed to the Federal Medical Centre, Yola, where he was confirmed d£ad, while the female soldier was arrested and whisked away by soldiers who arrived at the scene.
