Nigerian Army Detains Newly Converted Muslim-born Soldier ‘for Preaching by Omooba77: 1:52pm On Jul 24, 2023
He is currently being locked up at Eburutu barracks custody at 146 battalion upon which further action would be taken.

Asoldier identified as Musa Adamu has been detained by the Nigerian army authorities for preaching about Jesus Christ while in service uniform on social media, SaharaReporters has gathered.




Adamu, a Lance Corporal with service number 13NA/70/6100 is attached to Amphibious Training School Personnel (ATSCalabar) unit in Calabar, Cross River State.



He is currently being locked up at Eburutu barracks custody at 146 battalion upon which further action would be taken.




In some videos seen by SaharaReporters, the soldier with the Facebook name “Aaron Abraham” is heard telling his followers to repent and turn from their evil ways as he prayed for them.



According to a military source, Adamu was born a Muslim and recently converted to Christianity.



The Benue state-born soldier is said to have been in detention for over 45 days while his salary was stopped over 6 months ago.



“One of my colleague soldiers in the Nigerian Army that preaches on Facebook with the uniform is currently being locked up by the Army authorities and today makes it 49 days,” a soldier told SaharaReporters.



“They are not paying his salary as well and not feeding him, his name on Facebook is Aaron Abraham but Musa Adamu is his name in the military. He was born a Muslim but converted.



“His offence according to the GOC is preaching the gospel on uniform. I heard they already blocked his account for over 10 months now.”



When contacted, a senior army officer confirmed Adamu’s detention.



“Yes, I'm aware of his detention, I’m a Christian as well but his action was absolutely wrong. As a soldier, you are expected to be non-partisan and secular at least when in uniform.”



In 2019, a video of a police officer preaching in a place that looks like an entrance to a market went viral.



The policeman was in his service uniform while moving on the streets to preach to local traders, shoppers, and passers-by.



Wearing a police uniform, sky blue top and black trousers, he was heard shouting through a microphone about his “encounter” with God and how the then police commissioner in Abia State summoned him over his style of preaching.



“Yesterday, I did not go out for outreach because I was summoned by the commissioner of police, Abia State, warning me, saying ‘Why did you wear a police uniform and preach the gospel? What is it that gives you the courage?” he had said.



“I said, ‘Ma, by the special grace of God, I did not wear the uniform to preach on my own, God directed me to wear the uniform and preach the gospel, and that is why I do it.



The man further said in the clip that he came out “well-prepared in the spirit.”



“Whether you like it or not, if you like, be the highest demon in the whole world, God will bring you down today. I am boasting in my father in the Lord, in heaven, the one that called me, the one that gave me the mandate and said go out and preach the gospel,” he had said.

THIS IS THE PROPHETIC ORIGIN OF ISLAM . The Parable of the Weeds
(Ezekiel 17:1–10)
MATHEWS 13 VS 24.
24Jesus put before them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was asleep, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and slipped away. 26When the wheat sprouted and bore grain, then the weeds also appeared.

27The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’

28‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.

So the servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’

29‘No,’ he said, ‘if you pull the weeds now, you might uproot the wheat with them. 30Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat into my barn.’

The army can't be faulted in this instance, it's against the law to do that. The man should have just resigned his commission and go into fulltime ministry. Small time now some ignorant wailers will show up and lament about how he's being persecuted for his faith

They should free him. The Gospel must be preached in season and out of season.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus deliver him, restore his salaries two folds, strengthen him and shame his enemies.

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus pushed out all Islam from Nigeria.

From Grace to grass;
From purification to filthiness;
From Sanity to insanity;
From Peace to violence;
From Comfort to discomfort;
From Monotheism to polytheism;
From Cleaniness to dirtiness;
From Salvation to destruction;
From Freedom to slavery and
From Heavens to hell!
What's a sad end Adamu!
May you regain your freedom from idolatry religion!

Meanwhile, the same Nigerian Army built a super canteen where BH terrorists were fed sumptuous meals, deradicalised and rehabilitated in excellent facilities, given foreign education. Thereby treating fanatic religious killers with kids gloves.

What is the crime in preaching the gospel of peace with the Holy Scriptures than holding a sword dripping blood? Even the US and British armies that we copy but don't practice their democracies are more liberal. What is really wrong with this nation sef?
