The 82 Division of the Nigerian Army has dismissed Lance Cpl. Ajayi Johnson, who allegedly killed a commercial motorcyclist, Mr. Chimaobi Nwaogu, at Umoukereke Ngwa in Obingwa Local Government Area of Abia State.
The Deputy Director, Public Relations of the Division, Col. Aliyu Yusuf, announced this in a statement issued in Enugu on Wednesday.
Yusuf stated that Johnson has been handed over to the Police Command in Abia for prosecution.
It would be recalled that the suspect had, on August 7, allegedly shot Nwaogu for reportedly failing to pay N100 bribe at a military checkpoint, killing him on the spot.
