Nigerian Soldiers Resigned To Join Kanu’s Eastern Network – Military Sources | Sahara Reporters

One of the military sources noted that more soldiers from the South-East, particularly those in the Operation Lafiya Dole Theatre Command, are currently being wooed to resign and join the ESN.

At least five soldiers of the Nigerian Army recently resigned to join Nnamdi Kanu’s Eastern Security Network, military sources have informed SaharaReporters, adding that the ESN is silently building a regional military force

One of the military sources noted that more soldiers from the South-East, particularly those in the Operation Lafiya Dole Theatre Command, are currently being wooed to resign and join the ESN.

It was learnt that some of the soldiers who resigned did so on the grounds that the ESN, being funded by both international and local donors, has better welfare packages for its officers than the military.

“The Kanu ESN boys are not a bunch of rookies and untrained fellows brandishing guns. I personally know five guys from my hometown in Anambra State who left the Nigerian Army to join the ESN. Two of them were formerly serving in Operation Lafiya Dole, Borno State, before they quit.

“We are being reliably informed that there are other soldiers, particularly of the South-East extraction, who will soon leave for other various reasons and they are likely to be recruited into the fold,” one of the sources said.

Kanu, the leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, had recently announced the formation of the Eastern Security Network as a regional force to protect the South-East and South South from banditry and attacks from Fulani herdsmen.

In July 2012, about 356 soldiers in the North-East and other theatres of operation had resigned from the army – some on voluntary retirement, while others cited loss of interest as their reason for disengagement.

This resignation its been long over due, our military commandant's are very unserious set of military personnel.
This is what Nigeria deserves... The country is punishing the citizens... The brave soldiers are being manipulated and cheated. They just send them to Sambisa with outdated ammunitions to combat with. Many are dying gallantly on the battlefield...
our fellow southern brothers Yoruba should join their people and fish out terrorist and Fulani kidnaper from their forest


These are repentant terrorists enjoying a ride

I laugh at those who usually and still takes Nnamdi for granted.

A man who sacrificed his own Parents for Biafra

As at today, Nnamdi kanu is like an Idol all men worship in the entire Eastern Region. Forgot what Ohaneze and career politicians tell you.

I thought Yorubas and their northern brothers said ESN is audio security.

I will do the same if am in their shoe.

Which way Nigeria?

Henix:
Which way Nigeria?

Nigeria expired since 2014 ! Things are drastically falling apart ...

allow them to keep living in denial while Kanu keeps breaking new grounds

Na small small rain water dey take full bucket. God will separate us from Lord Lugard's evil project

The Children of Most high God.

Things are really falling apart and ethnic nationalities are now more interested in self preservation over the nation seeing that all buhari care about is to make Fulani the Lord and Master of the Nigeria government.
I commend them for joining the ESN for the protection of their mothers and fathers against terrorist and the protection of their ancestral land.

Fake news

This sahara reporters are useless. They will just come here and read gossip on NL, then post it as facts.

Just look at this quote here in bold:

Then compare it to the quote on this thread I opened yesterday:

Tobrasky:
I personally know 5 guys from my hometown who left the Nigerian army to join ESN, two of them served in Borno during the height of insurgency there... and I've been reliably informed there are several more soldiers who are leaving or have left the NA for various reasons and are swelling the ranks of ESN... which goes to confirm these guys aren't just bunch of untrained rookies brandishing guns, a lot of them actually have some fighting experience from their years in the army.

O pari! As long as the army and government continue to pamper bandits, Fulanis herdsmen/BH terrorists(even against the opposition by soldiers-being killed by these atrocious elements, the passionate pleas of their wives

Widows of slain military officers and soldiers particularly those fighting the war against terrorism have protested the continuous release of murderous Boko Haram terrorists on the grounds that they have repented but....wants them punished like other criminals

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/01/widows-of-soldiers-protest-release-of-repentant-boko-haram-terrorists/
....in shielding & giving them amnesty/largesses, then no reasonable person should belong to such an army.

Mr kanu

Wonderful

That's is a good development.
Southerners in the Army should know that they are being used as sacrificial lambs.

Instead of fighting Northern war join your brothers in your region to defend your father's land from Buhari's brothers who are on a mission to turn a peaceful South into Northern region that is not secured.


Tinubu is more concerned about 2023 Presidency while Yoruba land is under siege by Buhari's brothers.

What a shame.

Hehehehehe

Hmmm interesting times we are in.... where are the regular ESN masturbators the tiger clawed race?

following

Thank God bughari became president against all odds.. E don clear for everybody eyes. yoróbas are scampering around ,founding security agencies here and there, after proclaiming bughari as the best thing since slicebread. ..other regions are not left out, trying to save their necks too.. some middle beltan clans are almost going extinct due to these marauding herdsmen




A kata kata scene if u ask me

Nice one.

If the news is actually true.


Everybody should go and defend there region before herdsmen cause mayhem everywhere.
Cuz joining Nigerian Army is like Suicide Mission to Southerners .

Really Really interesting.
So "Lamidi Cownu" as we Yoruba muslims fondly call him wasn't just making noise..

Are you sure they do not resign to spy? ESN can't handle them because they are more exposed than kanu. It may back fire for kanu, only jobless and grown up factory baby products with twisted brains can work with Kanu. Enlighten ones will cause his downfall

More people need housing too many homeless people, others need a source of livelihood sometimes I wonder where people who cant fix man basic needs get resources to destroy man. Las Las the land is left for those deserving as resources never cease the same land that cant take care of 120million people would still cater for 1.2billion people that would still pass through it. Baba God has done his own we should do our part to harness the land.
