Two Soldiers Arrested For Killing Popular Islamic Cleric

Captain Kennedy Anyanwu of Sector of Operation Hadin Kai headquarters says there are two suspected soldiers alleged to have murdered Sheikh Goni Aisami cruelly.

Anyanwu, Assistant Director, Army Public Relations of the Sector noted this in a statement to newsmen on Sunday.

He affirmed that the Sector had hence organised a Board of Inquiry to unfold the circumstances linked to the tragic event.

“At the end of the investigation, the soldiers would be made to face the full wrath of both military and civil laws.

This incident is highly regrettable given the Sector’s disposition and zero tolerance for violation of Code of Conduct and Rules of engagement for troops,” Capt. Anyanwu said.

The Sector sympathised with the victim’s family in Yobe State and its people, adding that they’d bring the offenders to book.
