In a shocking development, a serving Nigerian Navy officer has been dismissed from service and sentenced to three years in prison after being found guilty of engaging in an illicit relationship with a colleague’s wife. The decision came after a Special Court Martial (SCM) reviewed the case and confirmed the officer’s guilt, prompting swift action from Naval Headquarters in Abuja. Sources confirmed that the dismissal and imprisonment officially took effect from November 23, 2024.
The sentence was formally implemented at the Nigerian Navy Institute of Technology (NNIT) Parade Ground in Sapele on Friday, August 29, 2025. According to insiders, the officer faced multiple charges, including misconduct, engaging in sexual relations with a fellow service member’s spouse, and providing false testimony during the trial. Legal observers noted that due process was fully observed, with the accused properly arraigned and the proceedings reviewed to ensure fairness.
The Navy Board upheld the SCM’s verdict, reinforcing the Nigerian Navy’s commitment to discipline and ethical conduct among its personnel. The case highlights the serious consequences military officers face when found guilty of violating both the law and the service’s code of conduct.
