Nigerian Army Dismisses Soldier Detained, Questioned ‘For Preaching About Jesus In Service Uniform’
The Benue state-born soldier was said to have spent over 50 days in detention while his salary was stopped over seven months ago before his dismissal.
The Nigerian Army has dismissed a soldier identified as Musa Adamu for preaching about Jesus Christ while in service uniform on social media.
SaharaReporters in July reported how Adamu, a Lance Corporal with service number 13NA/70/6100 and attached to the Amphibious Training School Personnel (ATSCalabar) unit in Calabar, Cross River State was detained by the army authorities.
military source earlier narrated to SaharaReporters how Adamu who was born a Muslim recently converted to Christianity.
One of my colleague soldiers in the Nigerian Army that preaches on Facebook with the uniform is currently being locked up by the Army authorities and today makes it 49 days,” a soldier had told SaharaReporters.
“They are not paying his salary as well and not feeding him. His name on Facebook is Aaron Abraham but Musa Adamu is his name in the military. He was born a Muslim but converted.
“His offence according to the GOC is preaching the gospel on uniform. I heard they already blocked his account for over 10 months now.”
