CORRUPTION IN THE ARMY EXPOSED: A BRAVE SOLDIER FROM OPERATION LAFIYA DOLE WRITES PRESIDENT BUHARI AN OPEN LETTER.


His Excellency,
President Muhammadu Buhari,
Commander in Chief of the Nigerian Arrmed Forces,
Presidential Villa,
Abuja.


Your Excellency,
Having read the online correspondence between Dr. Idris Ahmed of CUPS and our Army spokesman, Brigadier Generral S.K. Usman, I have decided to take a major risk and write to your Excellency directly over this issue.

Sir, I am a course-mate of Pvt. Abdulrauf Aliyu, who Oga S.K. claimed that he has gone AWOL. We trained at the same company, Depot Nigerian Army, Zaria, Kaduna State. We are presently posted to Operation LAFIYA DOLE. On behalf of all the colleagues of Pvt. Abdulrauf Aliyu, I categorically refute the allegation that Pvt. Abdulrauf Aliyu deserted the Army. The Sections 59 - 63 of the Armed Forces Act, Cap A20, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, as quoted by Oga S.K., has always been mentioned by our superiors, to protect themselves and antagonise us, whenever they have done mischief.

Your Excellency, the case of Pvt. Abdulrauf Aliyu is actually not an isolated one. There are many such cases of soldiers who got wounded at the battlefront. It is true, some are well looked after, as mentioned by Oga S.K. Usman in his press release.

Unfortunately, due to corruption in the system, some unfortunate soldiers, mostly from less privileged backgrounds, are left to fend for themselves. Like myself, Pvt. Abdulrauf Aliyu comes from a humble family. He sustained life threatening injuries in the abdomen during a routine operation.

The initial first aid treatment and medical care that he received was very inadequate. With full Army permission, Pvt Abdulrauf Aliyu and his family paid for his transfer to University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital. Unfortunately, the care he received in Maiduguri Teaching Hospital too was inadequate. Eventually, his family had to pay for his transfer to a specialist facility in Sokoto.

Your Excellency, corruption in the Army is REAL, and it is killing us. Every man and woman who decided to join the Army knows the risks. While we expect to die in the hands of the enemy, we don’t expect to die in the hands of the Nigerian Army, due to corruption and criminal negligence.

Just the other week, about 14 (I am not sure of the exact numbers) of our colleagues died in the hands of Boko Harram, who attacked the Army camp. The circumstances surrounding their unnecessary death warrants a full investigation by his Excellency. Sir, you will be shocked of the outcome. The bodies of the slain heroes are still lying here in Damaturu, Yobe State. The story of this incidence has hardly been officially published by the Army or Nigerian media. Attached is the picture of the commander of the camp. He too died in the attack.

Your Excellency, this is the third month in a row that we have been denied of our operations allowance. We have to rely ONLY on our meager salary for everything. From battalion commanders, to Company and Sectors leaders, we are all in debt, because our salaries are not enough to sustain us at the battlefront while feeding our families back at home. It is a big shame that we have joined the Army to defend the civilians, yet we have to go to the civilians in town to borrow money to fend for ourselves at the battlefront.

Take for instance the food that we are fed. Most of the times it is not fit for human consumption. I attach for your perusal, your Excellency, the lunch that was fed to us this afternoon (3/11/2017). As you can clearly see, there is not a single piece of meat or fish in it. The taste of the food is so bad that we have to add surplus salt to be able to eat it. This is also dangerous for our health. A plate of our food per soldier is probably about two hundred Naira (N200).

It is said that the Federal Government spends about fourteen thousand Naira (N14,000) on each prisoner in Nigeria. Here, at the battlefront in Operation LAFIYA DOLE, the Army spends about six hundred Naira (N600) per day per soldier on feeding us, while in reality billions of Naira is appropriated per year for this purpose. Your Excellency, we are treated like animals. Most of us are afraid to talk because of the dire consequence.

As the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, your Excellency, kindly investigate. There is corruption in the Army. Brave soldiers are needlessly dying.

By Patriotic Soldier.

Let me finish my EBA first

Every sectors of our government is corrupt

pathetic

Every Nigerian has tendency to be corrupt.

1. You cannot get admission into Uni without bribing your way in.

2. You cannot get a job without bribing your way in.

3. You cannot get a contract without bribe.

4. Nurses in a general hospitals expect bribe to give your loved one in the hospital special attention.

5. Conductors hike fare as much as 200% when he sights crowd at the bus stop.

6. Even during elections, politicians bribe electorates.

Nigerians think about ripping you off your cash at any slight opportunity.

corruption is everywhere in nigeria even among families so man corruption is nigeria vice versa

Each time I see them carrying the big flask of food to be distributed for stationed soldiers, I usually wonder if it is filled with food. I just hope that what we are seeing in that picture is not true.

I agreed with people that call Nig a zoo.
Work in the corridors of power, u will realise that a zoo is understatement
Lies & propaganda every where.
Work in the military / paramilitary in this country & u will see wonders

OMG!

This is man inhumanity to man.

Why is the black man his own enemy,eehn!
There is nothing we touch that ever remain the same.Nothing is ever done right in Africa especially Nigeria. We steal from the poor,the sick,the less privileged, the handicapped,children and even the dead yet the mosques and churches are filled to the brim on Fridays and Sundays.

Nigerians corruption is imbedded in our DNA and for it to be altered there must be total re engineering of our DNA starting from our families.

Children should reject ill gotten wealth from parents they know their source of income cannot support certain lifestyle.
Parents should question their children source of income and know know how legitimate that money is made.
The community should stop celebrating thieves and corrupt people by giving them titles and praising them.

We should be contented with whet we have like it is done in other climes, even other African countries live moderate life than this flamboyant and bogus lifestyle of ours that drives us to this madness of looting.

We must fight this demon or else we will be completely destroyed as a country.

hh

What is the meaning of a country,dying @ face of corruptn? Those who be constituted would also do that with corruted dot..(Savage)ry country

Who is he writing to, buhari ,hmmmmmm.

He will sweep it under the carpet.

Death however it comes is once. It is even better dying to due in the hands of your enemies than your friends.

Brave guy. Say it and die at ones. But your blood shall linger on

Hmmm....if this continue, then I pity commercial buses in Nigeria, for not only police will be of concern BT also soldiers.......


But wait!!!!!let me check

buhari is a disaster

all human being on this earth is corrupt in one way or the other...

buhari won't do anything about it, because the army chief is an APC soldier, lol

Corruption is just a way of life in Nigeria. It the livelihood of most people.

Mba o! Buhari cannot be expected to correct 100 years of PDP corruption in just under 3yrs. It's not his fault and he's not aware so don't even attempt to inform him please! He doesn't even know soldiers are fighting sef even if he said he'll lead from the front, that is if he remembers.

This is serious

And to think I wanted to join the Nigerian Army against momma's warnings. Thank God her prayers frustrated d effort.

sarrki:

for how long We will continue like this for God sake!
let's kill all these billionaire in our midst to be free!
enough is enough!
I know these people were breeding boko boys to deter the end of Boko haram to enrich themselves!
An investigation is a necessity to stop this rubbish!

Nigeria is not a corrupt country.



Did you understand me?

And he forgot to blame GEJ?

IPOB army. Lol

Heart breaking letter.
Unfortunately, the soldier did not know that Buhari is corruption himself. What will he do? Ask Burutai to investigate the issue, while Burutai is even more corrupt!

Jesusloveyou:
