Tension As Angry Soldier Stabs His Colleague During Heated Fight

A Nigerian soldier identified as Private Yahaya Sani, with service number 23NA/85/10147, has reportedly stabbed his colleague, Private Aliyu Musa, following an accusation of theft in Enugu State.

Sani and Musa were both serving in the 74 Supply and Transportation Brigade, 82nd (Airborne and Amphibious) Division of the Nigerian Army.

According to a source who spoke with SaharaReporters, Musa had complained on Monday night about his missing phone, alleging that Sani was the last person seen with him before the disappearance.

During an argument over the phone, Musa allegedly attacked Sani.

The source explained, “Private Yahaya Sani of 74 Supply and Transportation Brigade stabbed his course mate, Private Aliyu Musa of the same 82 Division 74 Supply and Transportation, Enugu, with a dagger on his head Monday night while they were both coming back from a new artisan in Enugu metropolis.”

“Musa complained that his phone had disappeared while they were in transit. Sani Yahaya was with him at the spot before his phone’s sudden disappearance. All efforts to know who was with his phone were futile, which resulted in him attacking Yahaya. Sani Yahaya, in retaliation, disarmed Musa and stabbed him in the head with a dagger.”

Currently, Musa is receiving treatment in 82DMSH, while Sani is under custody for further investigation in 82Div Garrison’s guard room.

This incident occurred shortly after another soldier, Private Mohammed Adamu, with service number 21NA/80/0365, attached to the 82nd (Airborne and Amphibious) Division, killed a pregnant woman named Miss Hauwakulu Tabra.
