Lance Corporal Shaibu Suleiman has reportedly been dismissed from active service in the Nigerian Army after allegations of involvement in armed robbery surfaced on social media, sources say.
According to posts circulating on various platforms, the dismissal was carried out under the authority of the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Waidi Shaibu. The online accounts described Lt Gen Shaibu as a strict disciplinarian who is enforcing high standards of conduct within the army.
Details around the alleged armed robbery incident, including when and where it occurred, have not been independently verified at this time. There is no official statement from the Nigerian Army or the Defence Headquarters confirming the dismissal or providing information on any investigation.
The social media posts, which are currently the primary source of the claim, have prompted questions about internal army discipline and accountability. Military spokespeople have yet to respond to requests for confirmation or comment.
Observers say that if true, the action reflects ongoing efforts to address misconduct within the armed forces and reinforce professional conduct among personnel.
Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
