Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu, a member of the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps, is currently sought by authorities. Officials state he is implicated in the illicit distribution of military attire to criminal organizations and insurgents. Major Oluwatope Dorcas Aluko, spokesperson for the Corps, confirmed that the soldier vanished from his position at the Nigerian Army Ordnance Kits Factory on June 3, 2026.
Military leaders have initiated a search for Amutu to subject him to legal proceedings and necessary disciplinary measures. The army emphasized its strict stance against any behavior that threatens national security or undermines the reputation of the armed forces. They cautioned that any staff involved in supplying controlled military equipment to unauthorized groups will be prosecuted under both civil and military statutes.
The public is encouraged to assist in the investigation. Anyone possessing information regarding the whereabouts of the fugitive should contact the closest security office or military unit. The Corps remains dedicated to upholding professional standards and safeguarding its assets, promising to hold all offenders responsible for their actions.
