An army memo disclosed that three of the civilians who received gunshot wounds during the verbal altercation were currently being treated at a specialist hospital in Maiduguri.
Private Abdullahi was recently deployed to the newly established “Operation Tura Takaibango” – an army formation involved in the fierce battle against jihadist group Boko Haram.
Information gathered revealed that the soldier’s corpse had been evacuated to a mortuary at 7 Divison Medical Services and Hospital (DMSH) in the Maimalari area of the capital city.
