The Nigerian Army says it has commenced investigation into an alleged killing of a Lagos-based driver simply known as Lawal.

Lawal was allegedly killed by some persons in military uniform on the 17th of August, 2023.

This was contained in a statement by the Acting Deputy Director of Army Public Relations, 81 Division, Lieutenant Colonel Olabisi Ayeni.

The Army said though information into the allegation is still scanty, it is appropriate to bring the occurrence to public notice and the steps taken to identify the alleged persons in military uniform, believed to be soldiers, and bring them to justice, if truly they are serving soldiers.
