The Nigerian Army has dismissed Lance Corporal Samuel Emmanuel following his alleged involvement in an armed robbery case.
Emmanuel was court-martialed at the 16 Brigade Garrison earlier this week after his arrest in connection with the crime. According to an official memo, he has since been handed over to the Nigerian Police Force for prosecution.
“Lance Corporal Samuel Emmanuel, serving under the 16 Brigade Garrison, has been officially dismissed from the Nigerian Army following his involvement in a case of armed robbery,” the statement read. “After a thorough investigation and military judicial proceedings, he was found guilty and subsequently discharged from the Regiment.”
The Nigerian Army reaffirmed its zero-tolerance stance on indiscipline and criminal activity, emphasizing that all personnel are expected to uphold the highest standards of conduct, professionalism, and integrity—without exception.
