Abuja – The Nigerian Army has reportedly dismissed a soldier for stealing his colleague’s phone.
Lance Corporal Kenewenimo Lokoja with service number 12NA/67/3446 was reportedly dismissed last week.
It was gathered that Kenewenimo was recently promoted to a new rank of Corporal and was expected to be decorated officially few days before his dismissal.
The dismissed officer was said to have stolen a phone of one of his colleagues while on a course sponsored by the army authorities.
“He was dismissed a day before his decoration as a Corporal for stealing of phone while on course,” a source told investigative news outlet Sahara Reporters.
Army spokesman Major General Onyema Nwachukwu could not be reached for comment.
