A tragic incident unfolded in Yola, the capital of Adamawa, when a female soldier shot and killed a senior colleague at a checkpoint. The soldier, identified as Lance Corporal Nkiru, was enforcing a curfew imposed by Governor Ahmadu Fintiri in response to the looting of a government warehouse and the theft of palliatives intended to alleviate the impact of fuel subsidy.
The shooting took place at the Fire Service Round About in Yola, where Lance Corporal Nkiru was involved in a dispute with civilians attempting to pass through the checkpoint during curfew hours. Despite some individuals identifying themselves as essential workers, Nkiru insisted they turn back.
In an attempt to intervene in the dispute, a captain approached the scene. Unfortunately, before any resolution could be reached, Lance Corporal Nkiru, who had already cocked her rifle, shot the captain. Eyewitness accounts and a security officer confirm this sequence of events.
The injured captain was immediately rushed to the Federal Medical Centre in Yola, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries. The incident has sent shockwaves through the community, leading to heightened concerns about the conduct of security personnel.
Lance Corporal Nkiru's aggressive behavior and accusations of previous harassment incidents have generated further alarm. Witnesses state that she has displayed aggressive behavior in the past, including cocking her rifle at minor provocations.
Following the shooting, the soldiers present at the scene quickly took Nkiru into custody. The Commander of 23 Armoured Brigade Yola, Brigadier General Muhammad Gambo, declined to provide immediate comments, stating that journalists must seek appointments in writing for official statements.
Meanwhile, the incident has triggered an investigation into the conduct of security personnel and the circumstances surrounding the shooting. The tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the importance of proper training and temperament for individuals in positions of power and authority.
