The statement reads in part: “A staff was seen to be drunk and misbehaving to civilians.
“An officer was dispatched to the scene with a view to bring him back to base.
“The officer did his best but the SNCO refused several entreaties to calm him and be disarmed by the superior officer.
“Unfortunately, the Staff Sergeant shot the officer dead and then killed himself.
“Their remains have since been evacuated to a military facility.”
Usman described the death of the officer and the Staff Sergeant as “painful and a great loss to the unit and the Nigerian Army.”
