EXCLUSIVE: 243 Nigerian Soldiers Tender Resignation Letters To Chief Of Army Staff, Yahaya Over Corruption, Low Morale, Others

August 19, 2022

The Chief of Army Staff has since approved their formal disengagement.

No fewer than 243 soldiers in the North-East and other theatres of operation have applied to the Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen General Faruk Yahaya, for voluntary retirement.

The action comes amid worsening security challenges the military is currently combating in most parts of the country.

The soldiers, drawn from various formations of the army across the country, are all junior cadres who are mostly fighting against terrorists and insurgents.

The Chief of Army Staff has since approved their formal disengagement.

The list of the exiting soldiers did not distinguish between those embarking on voluntary retirement and those leaving the army on medical grounds.

However, none of them had neither attained retirement age nor the mandatory years of service.

Some of the affected soldiers who spoke to SaharaReporters cited loss of interest, intimidation by superiors, corruption in the army, and low morale as their reasons for resignation.

The soldiers in a letter to the army chief under Reference NA/COAS/001, quoted the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service soldiers/rating/airmen (Revised) 2017.

The approval of their voluntary disengagement dated August 15 was signed by Colonel S.S. Ahmed and exclusively obtained by SaharaReporters on Thursday.

Writing on behalf of Yahaya, in the document, Colonel Ahmed said, “In compliance with the provisions of Reference A, the COAS vide Reference B has approved the voluntary and medical discharge of the above-named WO, and 242 others listed as Annex A.

“The soldiers are to proceed on terminal leave WEF 15, January 23, while their disengagement date takes effect from 15 February 23 in accordance with the Nigerian Army Administrative Policy and Procedures No 27 Paragraphs 3 and 4.

“Accordingly, I am directed to request formations and units to release all affected soldiers to report at the Headquarters, Garrison, with their unit service documents for documentation.

“All forms of military-controlled items, arms, ammunition, and items of combat kits are recovered from the soldiers prior to their disengagement date and certify that they are properly de-kitted. Please acknowledge.”

There have been allegations of corruption in the Nigerian Army which some of the soldiers have blamed on the issue – soldiers overstaying in the North-East.

According to some soldiers, the army is the epitome of deep-seated corruption. They noted that the corruption is affecting the prosecution of the anti-terrorism war in the North-East.

Recently, army personnel deployed for counterinsurgency operations in Borno State lamented that those who were to relieve them three months after they were asked to leave the battlefield had yet to resume.

The soldiers complained that they were being forced to confront Boko Haram militants, adding that their low morale and lack of willingness to continue to fight made it possible for terrorists to dislodge some military camps recently.

They complained of abandonment and accused the military authorities of keeping them on the war front beyond their approved period of stay.

Please where is our fight Against corruption

Watch and see how the Nigerian army headquarters will come and deny it now with full speed.

In all you do, remember peter Obi is the best man for the job.

You can't really blame them. Nigeria military is synonymous to a joke right now. There are some great soldiers in there but there are also a lot of sabotage, nepotism, corruption and all sorts.
This is not the Nigerian military we know.

This is not good @ all. This beleaguered nation is suffering from many self-inflicted problems under this regime. This kind of demoralising development is the least expected. The senior officers in the hierarchy are just living in stupendous opulence while using the juniors as pawns. So sad!

Noted

And thousands are willing to join especially 4rm. North

Fake news

There will be more revelations this is just a tip of the iceberg

The army will soon deny

Na wa ooo

This is demoralizing for our troops.
