Read Time:1 Minute, 37 Second
In response to widespread rumors, the Nigerian Army denies allegation of recruiting Ex-Boko Haram(s). The refutation comes in the wake of a viral report suggesting otherwise, clarified in a statement released on Sunday by its spokesman, Onyema Nwachuckwu.
Amidst this controversy, a tragic incident unfolded on Thursday, where Hauwakulu Tabra was reportedly slain by Adamu Muhammad, a soldier with whom she was romantically involved, within the confines of an army barracks in Enugu. Subsequent reports over the weekend suggested that Muhammad, the alleged perpetrator, was a former Boko Haram member who had purportedly transitioned into the Nigerian Army in 2021 after joining the Civilian Joint Task Force.
However, the Army’s statement dismissed these assertions, expressing profound regret over Tabra’s untimely demise while vehemently rejecting the notion that the perpetrator was a reformed Boko Haram affiliate enlisted into their ranks. The Army extended condolences to the bereaved family and underscored its steadfast commitment to never incorporating repentant Boko Haram members, dismissing such insinuations as baseless.
