For been unable to control his libido, he was unceremoniously fired from the Nigerian Navy after putting in decades in the service to defend the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The aspiration of Lieutenant SN Obini to lead the Nigeria Navy someday has been dashed in a most compromising way, after he was caught ‘pants down’ with his colleague’s wife.
Having conducted a serious internal investigation, the Nigerian Navy dismissed Lieutenant SN Obini and sentenced him to three years’ imprisonment after being found guilty of engaging in a scandalous affair with a fellow officer’s wife.
The disciplinary action followed a Special Court Martial (SCM) convened by Naval Headquarters in Abuja, which concluded that Obini’s actions breached multiple sections of the Armed Forces Act (AFA) and the Criminal Code.
According to official sources, the judgment comprising both dismissal and jail term was implemented on Friday, August 29, 2025, at the Nigerian Navy Institute of Technology (NNIT) Parade Ground in Sapele. The sentence took effect retroactively from November 23, 2024.
