The Nigerian Army has declared one of its personnel, Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu, wanted over his alleged involvement in the illegal sale and supply of military uniforms to terrorists and other criminal elements. The Headquarters Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps made the announcement in a statement released on Thursday, July 23, 2026, signed by the Assistant Director of Army Public Relations, Major Oluwatope Dorcas Aluko.
According to the military authorities, preliminary investigations indicate that Private Amutu, who was serving at the Nigerian Army Ordnance Kits Factory, absconded from his unit on June 3, 2026. Following his disappearance, he was declared wanted by appropriate military authorities, while intensive efforts are underway to locate and apprehend him to face a full investigation and appropriate disciplinary action in accordance with extant military laws.
The Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps stated unequivocally that it has zero tolerance for misconduct, indiscipline, or any act capable of compromising the operational effectiveness, integrity and reputation of the Nigerian Army or threatening national security. The military warned that any personnel found to have aided terrorists, criminals or other non-state actors through the unauthorised sale, diversion or distribution of military uniforms, accoutrements or other controlled items would be subjected to the full weight of military and civil laws.
The Army appealed to members of the public to support ongoing efforts by providing credible information that could lead to the arrest of the wanted soldier. Such information should be reported immediately to the nearest military formation or any security agency. The Headquarters Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps reassured Nigerians of its unwavering commitment to accountability, professionalism and the protection of military assets, adding that the Corps would continue to strengthen internal control measures and ensure that every allegation of misconduct is thoroughly investigated while those found culpable are held fully accountable.
