The Nigerian Army has denied claims that it recruited repented Boko Haram members, following the killing of a woman by a soldier she was in a relationship with. The army stated that while the incident was regrettable, it should not be used to support the claim of a repented Boko Haram member being enlisted into the army.
On Thursday, one Hauwakulu Tabra was reported to have been killed by Adamu Muhammad, a soldier she was in a relationship with, at the army barracks in Enugu.
But in a statement on Sunday by Onyema Nwachuckwu, director of press, the army said while it is highly regrettable that the lady was killed, the incident should not be used to propagate the claim that the act was committed by a repentant Boko Haram member recruited into the Nigerian Army.“The NA has at no point in time, either in the past or present enlisted repentant Boko Haram members to its strength.
“The sad incident of the gruesome murder of Miss Hauwakulu Tabra by Private Adamu Muhammad occurred on the night of Thursday 11 April 2024 and her corpse was discovered within the barracks on Friday 12 April 2024.“Preliminary investigations revealed that the late Hauwakulu Tabra was actually murdered by the said soldier, who is presently in detention for further investigation to unravel the motive behind his actions.
