Nigerian Army Declares Soldier Wanted for Terror Links

The Nigerian Army has declared Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu wanted due to allegations of his involvement in the illegal sale and supply of military uniforms to terrorists and other criminal elements. This announcement was made by the Headquarters of the Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps (NAOC).

Preliminary investigations indicated that Amutu was linked to the unauthorized distribution of military uniforms before he disappeared from his duty post on June 3, 2026. His disappearance raised concerns, leading to further investigations that uncovered allegations of his connection to the illegal movement of military materials.

The Army emphasized the seriousness of these allegations due to their potential impact on national security and military operations. Military uniforms are classified as controlled materials, and their unauthorized distribution poses significant security risks.

The Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps reiterated its zero tolerance for misconduct and is actively seeking to locate and arrest Amutu for a full investigation and potential disciplinary actions.
