In a statement released on Friday, October 10, 2025, Captain Lawal Muhammad, Assistant Director of Army Public Relations for 2 Brigade, confirmed that a probe was launched immediately after the incident to determine its circumstances. “The outcome of the investigation will be made public upon its conclusion,” Muhammad assured.
The statement detailed that Lieutenant Haruna and his wife were involved in a fire incident on September 22, resulting in severe burns to the officer.

The investigation, handled by a military board of inquiry, aims to establish the cause of the fire, assess any potential foul play, and ensure adherence to military ethics. The Army’s response comes amid growing public scrutiny of personnel-related incidents, with the military emphasizing transparency to address concerns over accountability within Nigeria’s security forces.
