Nigerian Military Dismisses Major For Mobile Phone Theft, Lieutenant Commander For Stealing N250,000



Two Senior Officers Dismissed From Armed Forces Command, Jaji For Alleged Stealing
Two senior officers of the Nigerian military have been dismissed from the force for engaging in theft, SaharaReporters has learnt.

A military source noted that the soldiers were of Senior Course 43 of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji.

The source said the senior officers - one in the position of a Major and the other, a Lieutenant Commander are leaders that other junior officers look up to as role models.

In a notice written in military format, Major I Abdullahi (N/12034) was withdrawn for stealing a handset while Lt Cdr MI Madume (NN/2938) was withdrawn for stealing the sum of N250,000. It was dated July 3rd, 2021.

The source said, "These are our leaders in the military dismissed for stealing, you can imagine that these are people we are looking up to are engaging in theft. One of them, a Major stole an ordinary phone while the other, a Lieutenant Commander stole N250, 000."

Checks by SaharaReporters revealed that a Lt Commander's salary in Nigeria is about N230,652 per month while a major earns about N300, 000 monthly.

The Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji is a training facility established for the Nigerian Armed Forces, including the army, air force and navy to produce operational-level military officers of the highest professional standard.

It is near the village of Jaji, about 35 km northeast of Kaduna in the Igabi Local Government Area of Kaduna State.

Chaiii

This seems unreal

Setup.

How true is this?

Dismissed from the military or withdrawn from the staff college?

I know he was from the region of herdsmen

repentant boko haram .

Joke apart... Hausa/Fulani don overtake Igbo for thie..........fing

Imagine the shame and disgrace they have brought upon their career, family, community, nation and above all, the God they have ever believed in if they have any.

One should grow beyond certain things

These ones go recruit their own bandit gang , begin terrorize Kaduna and environs


Hell Rufai shine your eye

Fake news.

There's no rank in the Army with "Lieutenant Commander".

***Edited***

I thought it is just in the Army I didn't see it is actually talking about the whole Military.

.

Quota system soldiers, no training or discipline.

Madume & Abdullahi?

A major in the Army and a Lt. Comdr. in the Navy both acted 'disgraceful'. Currupt politicians, corrupt military, 'curry' nation.

The military has been monetized, no value system everybody wants money by any means. Under bubu's leadership any evil is possible.

But inflation has caught up with those salaries na, rendering them useless.

Bogus Salaries of high ranking civil and public are now becoming insufficient to cater for their needs

There is fire on the mountain

Cursed people... Animal in human skin.

Too bad

Fake news.

Read the post again.....while Lt Cdr MI Madume (NN/2938) was withdrawn for stealing the sum of N250,000.

It seems like JTF.

Fake news.

There's no rank in the Army with "Lieutenant Commander".

Command and Staff college is a military school for the whole Armed Forces (Army, Navy and Airforce). They have staff across the forces.

Lt Commander is a rank in the navy. While the report may not be true, the rank is not the evidence to dismiss the report.

Village ppl reason their matter

More thieves has been sent into the hood... Nice one from the military tho

very good

The source of this news is an enemy of the military..

a lieutenant commander is a navy rank which is equivalent to a army rank of a major and squadron leader in the air force ..i dont believe the story cus a major in the army cant earn more than is equivalent(lt commander)in the navy ..cus we al know navy av better salary package ..mayb d story z real bt d salary written above z wrong.
