Just In, Soldier Went Berserk Shots Commander And Colleagues In Sokoto

A Nigerian Army, named Lance Corporal Nwobodo Chinoso, has shot dead the Commander of the Forward Operating Base (FOB) Rabah in Sokoto State, Lt. Sam Oladapo.

This was said to have  happened at the weekend.

Chinoso, also shot the FOB Rabah Command Sergeant Major (CSM), Sgt. Iliyasu Inusa, and another private soldier, Attahiru Mohammed, after he had killed Oladapo.

An eyewitness told our reporter that, “At the moment, the Commander 8 Division Garrison and Commander 26 Battalion are at the scene of the shooting.

“They have made efforts to move the corpse of the slain personnel to the Usmanu Dan Fodio Teaching Hospital, and an investigation into the cause of the incident was ordered”.

According to a top military officer in Sokoto who wants to be anonymous, he said  that, “The soldier who killed his FOB Commander at Rabah, and two other colleagues of his, may perhaps be battling operational and psychological stress.

“It is something that is common with military personnel. But that’s not a justification for any of our soldiers to go berserk. He went further to say that the welfare of military officers should be taken seriously to checkmate such  occurrences.
