Nigerian Soldier Allegedly Kills NSCDC Officer In Nightclub Fight
Reported by Ayooluwa Afolabi
A Nigerian Army personnel identified as Abubakar has reportedly killed Olapade Segun, an officer of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), following an altercation at a nightclub in the Bodija area of Ibadan, Oyo State.
According to Sahara Reporters, the incident occurred on Sunday after a confrontation between the two men, who had met at the same venue days earlier.
According to eyewitness accounts, the dispute escalated when Abubakar brandished a dagger and fatally stabbed Segun.
The NSCDC officer succumbed to severe blood loss before medical help could reach him.
Following the incident, an angry mob attempted to deliver justice by severely beating the soldier as he tried to flee the scene.
However, he was eventually rescued by fellow soldiers who arrived to disperse the crowd.
A source told Sahara Reporters, “A soldier named Abubakar and an NSCDC officer got into a heated argument, which led to the soldier stabbing the officer. The crowd turned on the soldier, but his colleagues saved him.”
An ongoing investigation has been launched, with senior Army officers frequently visiting the NSCDC state command in connection with the case. Reports suggest the Army has formed a panel to investigate the matter.
