Let the dismiss him and hand him over to police to charge him to court. Any other grammar e no concern me

People already feel that majority of our soldiers are deradicalized and rehabilitated Boko Haram fighters and that's why it's hard for them to accept that accidental discharges occur.

Why will a soldier shoot a medical student for no reason except that it was an accidental discharge.

But we are right to question the legitimacy of the acicdental discharge claim because these same soldiers perform parades for ogas at the top and also at functions but we've never heard of an accidental discharge.

NwaAmaikpe:





I don't know why people will not accept that accidents occur.
Why will a soldier shoot a medical student for no reason except that it was an accidental discharge.

It's not fair the way some of you see these soldiers.
Some people will now say that majority of our soldiers are rehabilitated Boko Haram.
