Major-General Hakeem Otiti has been dismissed from service “with disgrace and dishonour” after being found guilty of N400m theft by a Nigerian army court-martial.
The army court-martial which found the former general officer commanding (GOC) guilty of all the five-count charge against him on Monday night, also ordered the return of various sums of money including $6,600 he was found with to the Nigerian army.
His sentence which is subject to approval by the army council also includes a reduction of his rank to brigadier general with two years seniority on count three and severe reprimand on count four.
