Indications emerged Thursday that following the SSS declaration of an ex-soldier, Habibu Bama, wanted in connection with the Christmas day bombing of a Church in Madalla, in December last year, authorities of the Nigeria Army may have ordered that further payment of the soldier’s pension benefits be put on hold pending investigation.
Vanguard was informed that the wanted ex-soldier, Habibu Bama, who is also known as Shuibu Bama currently collects his pension benefits through a bank which is the procedure for pensioners but that since he has been declared wanted in connection with Boko Haram, he would have to face investigation before any such benefit can be extended to him.
The fact that an ex-soldier was declared wanted in connection with the dastardly act of bombing a church and killing about 47 people is of great embarrassment to the military authorities but we have to wait and see the outcome of the investigation if he is arrested by the SSS hence the immediate action the army can take was to order the stoppage of his pensions.
It was also gathered that the Army authorities on their own, have commenced investigations to ascertain how Bama who allegedly bears three names including Habib Mamman left the Army, as well as the actual name he bears while in the Army, how many years he served and the year he retired
