"Below is L/Cpl Jibrin, an instructor with his Army Battalion in Geidam, who disappeared for about 2 days. He was very popular with his colleagues and well liked by his colleagues because of his known competence.


"He was however sighted among the Boko Haram Terrorists that attacked Geidam last Sunday. The Battalion C.O tracked his phone and he was pinpointed at a point in Gashua, hundreds of kilometers from his supposed duty post. That Army authorities in Gashua was intimated and the soldiers spread their dragnets.



.
"Yesterday, Tuesday morning, L/Cpl Jibrin boarded a bus to Gombe and disguised himself but was identified and nabbed at the checkpoint in Gashua. He was handcuffed and on interrogation revealed so many things.


"On transit to Geidam, Jibrin employed his skills as a weapon instructor, snatched a gun from one of his escorts, over powered the other and blew himself up. His revelations however led to the arrest of some of his terror-brethren, while many are believed to be among the troops in both Gombe and Geidam Battalions.


"Real problems already reside with and among our defenders and our military faces, a lot of internal threats. This was the end of a brilliant soldier who was an asset to the Army until he got switched.


"He was even in the Intelligence Corps of the NA before becoming a weapons instructor. L/Cpl Jibrin was a Babur from Biu.


"We will continue to expose the bad eggs and the trators while praying and eulogising the hard working patriotic Gallant officers.


"May God continue to protect our troops."

I have gone for evangelism, I have gone for morning call, I have called for night vigil, I have done everything so that my church will grow".

Speaking further, he said: "My colleagues that we went to church school together, they're doing well, their church have grown, they're travelling abroad while mine is not growing. I will host crusade, I will not even see money to settle the debts incurred. I have done everything. I cannot even pay my house rent"
