The Nigerian Army has dismissed Lance Corporal, Samuel Emmanuel for alleged involvement in armed robbery.
He was dismissed after he was court-martialed at the 16 Brigade Garrison during the week after he was arrested for armed robbery.
A memo from the army stated that Emmanuel has been handed over to the Nigerian Police Force for prosecution.
“Lance Corporal Samuel Emmanuel, serving under the 16 Brigade Garrison, has been officially dismissed from the Nigerian Army following his involvement in a case of armed robbery,” the memo reads.
“After a thorough investigation and military proceedings, he was found guilty and consequently discharged from the Regiment.
“The Nigerian Army maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards indiscipline and criminal behaviour.
“All personnel are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct, professionalism, and integrity — without exception.”
