Soldiers in the Joint Task Force in Borno
State, who have been battling with the
Boko Haram sect in the troubled town
of Maiduguri, have accused some
senior military officers of underhanded
management practices in the course of
the operations. They allege that the
senior officers have been diverting,
slashing and short-changing their
allowances.
The allegations are contained in a
detailed press statement sent to
SaharaReporters, in which they seek to
draw the attention of the Minister of
Defence, the National Assembly and the
National Security Adviser to what is
going on. They also urge them to direct
the Chief of Army Staff to rotate them
so they can travel and see their
families.
The statement reads, “The increased
insecurity in the country particularly
Maiduguri the North Eastern part of
Nigeria, has drawn many soldiers out of
barracks to perform their legitimate
duties for their fatherland but Nigerian
Army which provide larger number of
soldiers of its personnel are in low
morale as the sources from the highest
authority of Army said it has no money
to rotate them. Before the inception of
Joint Task Force in Maiduguri many
soldiers had been deployed since
operation FLUSH OUT II.
However, most of these angry soldiers,
which were drawn from different parts
of the country, have done one year six
months now without rotation from the
higher authorities or even to see their
families in their various barracks. By
June 12 the JTF will mark one full year
it existence in Maiduguri as deadly
Islamic Sect called Boko Haram has
made Maiduguri a basic home of its
operation.
“Some land soldiers who were
deployed to the state before the
creation of the task force, remained in
the Borno about a year later even after
the other Armed Forces have rotated
their men twice. Most of us left our
family because of one operation or
other has done good two years now
without settling down with our family.
And the negative impact of this long
stay away from the family is affecting
the operation. We plead with the
Minister of Defence, Senate Committee
on Defence and the National Security
Adviser to direct the Chief of Army
Staff to rotate the soldiers that have
over stayed in Maiduguri and also take
the matter of soldiers in the JTF welfare
serious.”
Attempts to reach Lt. Col. Sagir Musa,
spokesperson of the JTF in Maiduguri
have been unsuccessful.

Injustice is just everywhere in this country! The strong always oppresing the weak, that is why the soldiers themselves will have no mercy on the bloody civilians!

They allege that the senior officers have been diverting, slashing and short-changing their allowances.

The labours of our heroes past SHALL ALWAYS BE IN VAIN...

They short-change you and you in turn, short-change the innocent people!!!
