Nigerian soldiers |
According to Premium Times, the soldiers are: Gabriel Oluwaniyi, a corporal; Mohammed Aminu, a corporal; Commander Haruna, a lance corporal; Oluji Joshua, a lance corporal; and Hayatudeen Abubakar, a lance corporal.
The men escorted the huge cash said to be owned by Major General Hakeem Oladapo Otiki in a convoy from Sokoto to Jaji.
“They also removed all their uniforms and abandoned their rifles in the vehicles at the air strip in Jaji,” the paper said quoting an anonymous military source.
However, the report did not state the reaction of Otiki to the thieving soldiers, since the brazen theft happened in his presence.
The army authorities have not confirmed the report.
