Repented Boko Haram Member Enlisted into Nigerian Army Kills Woman in Enugu? NA Speaks

The Nigerian Army (NA) has reacted to a viral claim that a repented Boko Haram member, Private Adamu Muhammad, which it allegedly enlisted recently killed a woman, Hauwakulu Tabra, in Enugu state.

According to the claim published in a Sahara Reporters post, the recruit, after killing the woman, hid her remains.

Deeming it pertinent to clear the air on this allegation, the NA, in a statement released by its spokesman, Major General Oyema Nwachukwu, noted that it has at no point in time, either in the past or present enlisted repentant Boko Haram members to its strength.

However, the force stated that considerations were given to Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF) who in the fight against terrorism and insurgency in the North East distinguished themselves morally and patriotically.

It added that such members of the CJTF must have also shown commitment, dedication and loyalty to the service and the nation.

The NA, speaking on the issue, revealed that murder of Tabra occurred on the night of Thursday 11 April 2024 and her corpse was discovered within the barracks on Friday 12 April 2024.

It went on to make it known that preliminary investigations revealed that the late Hauwakulu Tabra was actually murdered by the said soldier, who is presently in detention for further investigation to unravel the motive behind his actions.
