The Nigerian Army arrested one Adam Alexander in Bauchi state for parading himself as a soldier. Daily Post reports that the young man was apprehended during the weekend by 33 Artillery Brigade, It was
reported that the fake soldier would dress in military uniform and terrorise people by collect their belongings.

Captain Sunday Akinkunmi who is the deputy director of media of the Nigerian Army said the fake soldier is an indigene of Maiduguri, Borno State.

 “He was arrested in the Wunti market wearing a fake
camouflage, while trying to sell a stolen Samsung Galaxy Note
5 phone for N70, 000.”

 The soldier, identified as Lieutenant Colonel BU Umar, had
about three weeks ago, taken over the 114 battalion which
he was leading until he met his end.
The Army has already denied knowledge of the occurrence
through its spokesperson Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman,
who said he was unaware of Lt Col Umar’s death.

 But Nigerians are livid as the demise of the young Colonel is
coming only weeks after the exit of Abu Ali, another top
army commander who was killed in an ambush by the
terrorists.

  Some Nigerians are of the opinion that the Nigerian army
are the ones killing their soldiers, while some believe that the
lives of the soldiers are not as valuable to the Nigerian
government following the reports that the Islamist sect
bought more sophisticated weapons with money they got
from Chibok girls ransom.
