This incident comes just weeks after another soldier, identified as Private Sadiq Sani, was arrested for allegedly attacking a Minna-based businessman, Abdulrahman Salihu, during the Eid-el-Fitr celebration.
According to reports, Sani stabbed Salihu multiple times after a dispute over a clothing transaction, severing one of the trader’s arms before fleeing.
The Nigerian Army and the police have yet to issue official statements on the latest arrest, but security analysts say the development raises concerns about the involvement of uniformed personnel in criminal activities.
