An Army officer, Lance Corporal Mohammed, and an Airman, Corporal Olathe, have been reportedly arrested in Abuja over alleged armed robbery and kidnapping.
“Troops of AHQ Gar deployed for guard duty on the school premises challenged the armed robbers upon sighting their movement in the dark but the robbers opened fire on the guards who also returned fire, hitting one of the armed robbers on the shoulder while the other fled and escaped.
“However, preliminary inquiry from the culprit, who was still conscious, revealed that they were two in number. He also revealed that his accomplice, who escaped, is also a serving soldier.”
