If there is one thing that keeps Nigerians up at night, it is the thought of terrorists blending into society undetected. Now, imagine those same terrorists walking around in Nigerian Army uniforms. That chilling scenario is exactly what has prompted the Nigerian Army to take urgent action.
The Headquarters Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps has officially declared one of its own personnel, Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu*, wanted over his alleged involvement in the *illegal sale and supply of military uniforms to terrorists.

A Betrayal of the Highest Order
For a country already battling insurgency in the Northeast, banditry in the Northwest, and various security threats across different regions, this kind of allegation is not just a criminal matter — it is a direct stab at the heart of Nigeria’s national security.
Military uniforms are not ordinary clothing. They grant the wearer authority, access, and — most dangerously — trust. When terrorists don army fatigues, they can infiltrate communities, set up fake checkpoints, and carry out attacks while innocent civilians have no idea they are dealing with criminals rather than soldiers.
This is the gravity of what Private Amutu is accused of doing.

What We Know So Far
The Nigerian Army Ordnance Corps, the branch responsible for managing military equipment and supplies, confirmed that Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu is now a wanted man. The declaration comes after investigations allegedly linked him to the unauthorised sale and distribution of military uniforms to individuals believed to be terrorists.
The Army has urged anyone with information about his whereabouts to come forward immediately and report to the nearest military authority or security agency.

Why This Matters to Every Nigerian
Many Nigerians living in conflict-affected areas like Borno, Zamfara, and Kaduna already struggle to distinguish between genuine soldiers and impostors. Stories of fake military checkpoints and armed groups dressed in army uniforms have been reported across the country. These incidents have led to robberies, kidnappings, and even killings.
By allegedly feeding this dangerous market, Private Amutu — if found guilty — would have put the lives of countless Nigerians at even greater risk.

The Army Must Clean House
This incident is a stark reminder that the enemy is not always outside the gate. Sometimes, the threat comes from within. The Nigerian Army has made significant strides in recent years in its fight against Boko Haram, ISWAP, and other armed groups. But those efforts can be undermined when bad actors within the ranks compromise security from the inside.
Nigerians will be watching closely to see how swiftly and decisively this matter is handled. Justice must not only be done — it must be seen to be done.

If You Have Information, Speak Up
The Nigerian Army is calling on the public to assist in locating Private Mohammed Yusuf Amutu. If you have any information about his whereabouts, please contact the nearest military formation or security agency without delay.
This is not just the Army’s fight — it is our collective responsibility as Nigerians to protect our nation and the brave men and women who serve it with honour.
