\u201dOther items found on him were three armour of G3 rifles and one armour of anti-rocket launcher.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wish to state that the Commandant-General of the Corps, Dr Ahmed Audi, who also received the news with shock and disappointment has condemned the alleged barbaric behaviour of the officer.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has directed me to take necessary administrative actions, including immediate dismissal of the personnel from the Corps\u2019 nominal roll.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt does not represent or reflect the image or character of officers and men of the Zamfara command or the Corps, nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the spirit of inter-agency relationship and synergy, I will interface with the Commissioner of Police for further necessary actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is with the view to transferring the officer to the corps\u2019 national headquarters, Abuja, for internal disciplinary action and prosecution.\u201d<\/p>\n
