A dismissed soldier has been arrested by men of Kaduna state Police Command for Armed robbery.

Lance Corporal Khalid Mohammed, who was paraded before the media alongside 78 others by Kaduna state Commissioner of Police, Ali Aji Janga in Rijana on Wednesday, said he was dismissed from the Army because he shot his then Guard Commander.

The father of two said he was arrested after robbing an apartment on Upper Volta Road, Malali, Kaduna.

He disclosed that he has been into armed robbery since 2006.

The suspect, a resident of Malali in Kaduna North, said he regretted his actions and promised to turn a new leaf.

He, however, said he will accept any punishment meted out to him for his criminal actions because he deserves it.
