On Tuesday, a 60 year old man, Ibrahim Bulama was murdered in a brothel in Maiduguri, Borno State after a war of words with The Nigerian Air Force. Some eye witnesses say, the man was shot dead after a fight for a woman at the brothel. Although the N.A.F agreed to the killing, they denied the accusation of its personnel fighting for a prostitute.
The Commander of the 105 Composite Group, Charles Ohwo, an Air Commodore, told journalists at a press briefing on Thursday that the deceased was not shot. Instead he said the man was shot when some soldiers tried to retrieve a rifle that was snatched.
According to the Nigeria Air Force account, the soldier, Kamal Usman, a Lance Corporal, was on his way home from his duty post when he ran into people having an argument.
