Solomon Derikoma, a lieutenant commander of the Nigeria navy, was found dead inside his apartment on Sunday.

The deceased was undergoing training at the Armed Forces Command and Staff College, Jaji, Kaduna state.

A source told TheCable that his corpse was found inside his room on Sunday morning.

The source said Derikoma and his colleagues were to go on a study tour on the day and after waiting for him, some officers decided to visit his apartment.

“Derikoma and some of his colleagues were to to travel for a study tour,” the source who craved anonymity said.

“After waiting endlessly for him, some officers headed to his apartment, where a padlock was found on the door.

“This gave the impression that there was no one in the room.”

The source said after the padlock was broken, the officers found the deceased with a stone by his side.

He was reportedly in a pool of blood.

“He was possibly murdered  and his body had started decomposing, which means it happened anytime from Friday,” he added.

Derikoma’s colleagues were said to have proceeded with the tour.

The deceased with service number: NN/2852 hailed from Rivers state.

  • Jilli Airstrike: Supporters Of Terrorists Will Be Treated As Bandits, Defence Minister Warns Defence Minister Christopher Musa has warned that supporters of terrorists would be treated as criminals. He said this on Monday as he reacted to the airstrike carried out by the Nigerian Air Force airstrike in Jilli, Borno State, over the weekend. Speaking after an expanded security meeting in Kaduna with the state governor and heads of security agencies, Musa said the operation sends a clear message to those collaborating with terrorist groups. He stressed that anyone found supporting insurgents would face the same consequences as the perpetrators. “A friend of a thief is a thief,” he said, warning civilians against associating with or providing any form of assistance to terrorists. Musa urged residents to steer clear of areas known to be used by insurgents, noting that proximity or collaboration could have grave consequences. The airstrike, carried out near the village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area, targeted what the military described as an ISWAP enclave and logistics hub. According to the Nigerian Air Force, the operation was intelligence-driven and aimed at neutralising terror elements and destroying their equipment. However, reports have emerged alleging that the strike may have affected a weekly market in the area, with civilians, including cross-border traders, reportedly among casualties. Musa, however, maintained that the strike should serve as a strong warning to those aiding insurgent activities, reaffirming the military’s resolve to intensify operations against terrorist networks. Air Component of Joint Task Force (North East) Operation HADIN KAI, conducted a precision air strike on a known terrorist enclave and logistics hub located near the abandoned village of Jilli in Gubio Local Government Area of Borno State. Giving an update on the airstrike, the Nigerian Army in a post on its official X handle said, “The successful strike, executed on 11 April 2026, followed sustained intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance missions over the Bindul–Jilli axis, an area long identified as a major terrorist movement corridor and convergence point for Islamic State West Africa Province terrorists and their collaborators.”
