The military has voiced deep concerns over the reported involvement of two of its personnel in an alleged case of theft at the Dangote Refinery in Lagos.
In a statement, Director of Army Public Relations Major General Onyema Nwachukwu condemned the incident, stating that it was “totally unacceptable and highly regrettable,” and emphasized that it did not reflect the ethics and values of the Nigerian Army.
According to Nwachukwu, the two suspects had been identified and in custody.
He said preliminary investigations suggested that the soldiers were hired by a civilian contractor, known as Mr. Smart, who claimed to need assistance in recovering Armoured cables left on the refinery’s premises.
However, upon approaching the security post, Smart reportedly absconded, leaving the soldiers behind.
