Nigerian Army Declares Soldier Wanted for Allegedly Supplying Military Uniforms to Terrorists and Other Criminal Groups.

The Nigerian Army has declared Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu wanted for allegedly supplying military uniforms to terrorists and other criminal groups.

In a statement issued on Thursday by the Assistant Director of Army Public Relations, Headquarters Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps, Major Oluwatope Aluko, the Corps said preliminary investigations linked the soldier to the alleged illegal activities after he absconded from his unit.

According to the statement, Amutu, who was serving at the Nigerian Army Ordnance Kits Factory, “absconded from his unit on 3 June 2026.”

It added that he has since been declared wanted by the appropriate military authorities, while efforts are ongoing to locate and apprehend him to face a full investigation and appropriate disciplinary action in line with extant military laws.

The Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps stressed that it has “zero tolerance for misconduct, indiscipline, or any act capable of compromising the operational effectiveness, integrity and reputation of the Nigerian Army or threatening national security.”

It further warned that “any personnel found to have aided terrorists, cri

minals or other non-state actors through the unauthorized sale, diversion or distribution of military uniforms, accoutrements or other controlled items will be subjected to the full weight of military and civil laws.”

The Corps appealed to members of the public to provide credible information that could lead to Amutu’s arrest, urging anyone with useful information to report to the nearest military formation or any security agency.
