There was confusion on Monday night as a soldier identified as
Muazu Haruna attached to the 423 Battalion, Elele Barrack, in Rivers State
working in Bayelsa, went insane and shot dead his colleague sergeant Ishiaku.
The incident, which occurred around 11pm along the Onopa
end, some distance away from the Banquet Hall of Government House, jolted
residents as nobody could explain what led to the dastardly act.
It was learned that the soldier, a Lance Corporal,
identified as Muazu Haruna, shot his colleague at close range and the victim
died before help could reach him.
The suspect was reportedly arrested and taken to the Area
Command Division of the Police and later released to the Joint Task Force due
to the alleged intervention of an unnamed Captain.
Another source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, stated
that the erring soldier might have acted under the influence of alcohol.
