While the army authorities have refused to comment on the incident, the killer has been identified as Pte Mohammed Adamu working with the division’s legal service.
Adamu and the deceased, identified as Hauwa, were said to be lovers.

Recall that the Nigerian Army had between 2020 and 2021 absorbed 400 members of the Civilian JTF into its fold to assist in prosecuting the war against Boko Haram terrorists.
“The suspect behind the murder of Miss Hauwa, the hijab woman, is 21NA/80/0365 Pte Mohammed Adamu of 82Div legal services,” a source told SaharaReporters.
“Unfortunately, Pte Mohammed Adamu is a repentant Boko Haram member who, after his repentance, joined the Civilian JTF. It was from being a CJTF that he was enlisted into the Army in the year 2021.
Investigation revealed that Miss Hauwa and Pte Mohammed Adamu were both lovers and from the same town in Biu local government area of Borno state. He, Pte Mohammed Adamu, paid her transport to come over to Enugu and killed her. He is currently in custody of the military police, and his statement has been taken in which he confessed to the act.
“The late Hauwa was pregnant for Pte Adamu Mohammed before he slit her throat, stabbed her belly multiple times, and tied her up in the bush near the 82Div officers’ quarters, in the early hours of Friday, April 12th.
“In his statement, Pte Mohammed Adamu claimed that the pregnancy the late Hauwa was carrying wasn’t his own, and he is not ready to father any child yet, and he lured her out.”
When confronted that the Nigerian army had denied recruiting ex-Boko Haram into the military, the source said, “Not everything the army headquarters will agree to, we in the system understand better.
“These are the people we work with every day. They repent first and join the CJTF; it’s from the CTJF that they do join the military. That’s how it’s being done, not that they do join immediately after repentance.
“We have lots of them, one of the guys in my unit then, late Pte Abdalla from Yobe State was a repentant Boko Haram.”
