Babatunji Wusu –
The Nigerian army authorities have fired a soldier by the name of Musa Adamu for preaching on social media about Jesus Christ while wearing his uniform.
Remember that in July 2023, Adamu, a Lance Corporal assigned to the Amphibious Training School Personnel (ATSCalabar) unit in Calabar, Cross River State, was imprisoned for preaching while wearing his uniform. His service number is 13NA/70/6100.
The soldier known on Facebook as “Aaron Abraham” is heard in several of the films posted to his page pleading with his supporters to change from their evil ways and repent. He reportedly converted to Christianity recently despite being born a Muslim.
The soldier, who was born in the state of Benue, is alleged to have spent more than 45 days in custody while his pay was suspended more than six months ago.
However, Adamu announced in a video he published in August 2023 that he had been discharged from the military.
