Why l go AWOL

I just realised that been a an AWOL /Deserter soldier earn no glory. It is a big offence in the army need to be treat and forgive.
I was enlisted on 25th Nov, 2014 and pass out May 22,2015.Deploy to a Div. We had just one and half Regimental course including 2weeks pass which some of us could not finished the three months course before 20 out of 50 of us posted there,were selected to go northeast. Little did I know that we are going to war zone in northeast which everything became clear when we arrived at Task Force Brigade headquarter in Northeast. A colleague of mine wanted to run away which everybody persuaded him to stay after contacted his family who was later killed in the battlefield during our contact with the enemy. I never thought of leaving the army during those times we were fighting in the task force battalion .
Luckily, I got selected to join those going to another location when the police unit station there run away because of Boko Haram. Many Thought that those of us selected are going on a suicide mission of no return because of the rumour of Boko Haram invasion on the terrace but it turned out to be the safe haven for those of us that went there, we are there till date.
My AWOL was caused due to frustration beyond my control though I never speak to the two officers/ any soldiers about it before I suddenly disappeared. Those of us who came from my former Task Force Battalion to the new location received our last operational allowances end of May and was stopped,reaching 5 months some were paid but l and another soldier were not paid, those that are paid, some are making mockery of us and others giving us false hope.One morning l complained to the clerk only to be shun at, though I am the least soldier and most junior soldier in the camp, l couldn't meet the O.C to complain.during this period l also couldn't remember when I go pass last as it running to 5months, precisely my last pass was in early June. All these with family and personal problems started given me a traumatic stress which only what l could think of was to go out of the army. During these period l sick and was admitted at the brigade headquarter MRS which landed me 4 to 6 big and small drips altogether into my body and some drugs/ injections because since we went to Bara l'm station at the kitchen as a cook.before l was removed there.
I was in full sorrow for my life because I thought l chooses want was not good for me. My thoughts of going AWOL came when I was fully devastated all these thinking which makes me to dropped my army things (Riffle, ammunitions, ID, and uniform on my bed in my tent) issue to me and left.
I thought I was free until recently l realize AWOL in the army an offence and a bad reputation.
Iam deciding to Turn Myself In even if army are not looking for me. My operational allowance started coming in after l left but I couldn't get those paid to my other colleagues from the same task force battalion soldiers during when they resumed the payment in bulk at the brigade that prompted me to go AWOL.
Can the army temper justice with mercy if I turn myself in?, because I didn't know the rate of these offences as I am just two(2)years in service, and all my army life was in this operation ground with nothing in the Barrack, no room or property which all our Colleagues in the barrack had done for long and some married.
It is unfortunate l find myself in this situation as l was not charge or lock in the guardroom before .
Please l want Officers and soldiers in the house to advice me what to do,l want to turn myself in, how to go about this issue and if military police lawyer can be of good help.Note:it is close to 4months of my AWOL now from the battlefield, l'm not suffering out here but leaving army this way is what I want to correct.
What advice do you have for as l fully thinking how to go about this whole issue.?
It was frustration that make me to did all of these things.

You made a mistake , do the right thing and turn yourself in and I hope you know there are repercussions of your actions.
why didn't you speak to your CO ? who could have helped or advised you properly, I keep an open door policy among my men and I am sure most CO s do the same.

We are 82 in number 2 officers and 80 soldiers though some men are not with us again which makes the number reduced, our OC then is an aggressive officer who don't listen to any complaints from most of us, with this everybody is avoiding him(a captain by rank). No open door policy

sorry about that but you have to redeem yourself rather keep running . that's my best advice for you cos that is where issues would lead to even if I intervene.had it been you were punished for something you didn't do I would have helped as his superior but in this case I wish you all the best.

Have u been declared on awol? If yes, how comes u are collecting ur salary n ops allowance? Well can contact ur coxmate in ur last unit, to give d latest cos everyday tins change. Then try n contact ur CC, if he is nice, he can help u talk to ur CO, every tin can b solved according to ur CO/OC's disgression provided they have not send ur awol sig to ahq. Even if they will rejab u, u might b tried if u are lucky fly u 252.

The salary was stop Dec,but the ops allowance is still coming in

My best opinion: Dont go back.

If you do, court marshal. They'll say you left with your riffle (cuz u didn't specifically hand it to anyone, in particular), and all military effects in your care.

They'll waste your youth.

Thank you Sir

Frustration drove you out from the military. You are making it now, double what you were been paid in the army, rather than being happy with your life, you want to go back, why. Are you being pursued by frustrations everywhere you go?

If you go back, it's either the army wastes your youth or Boko Haram wastes your life.

My man be WISE. Don't allow the witches from your village to keep chasing you everywhere you go.

Nigerian army na work? My sister's husband brother spent his whole life serving Nigeria army. One day, they brought a coffin which they refused opening for burial. All he had was loaded in a truck with his wife and children. What killed him, till today, no one was told. Since then NOBODY in my village ever accept joining the Nigeria army ... what for? Useless saalry without honour or even a roof. All his age mate then were made either as farmers or traders, while he wasted away in some northern barracks.

the truth is return to your station and handover yourself to the military police. because the military Will think your are in captivity or killed and have launch and investigation on your case, if they find out that none of the above happen to you, you be surely be track and that will be worse. Highest punishment is either they dimiss you or put you in detention and reinstate you to back

Don't go back bro

They enjoy your life dey go.

You went AWOL in the NE right? If the answer is YES, they might think you got killed in battle against Boko Haram and might not be looking for you.

The Situation is Dicey, Nigerian Military may not be the best but going AWOL in a warzone is not one of the things you really want to do, first you seem to be young according to you maybe among the youngest in the unit, this act can lower morale and eventually it could put your superiors in a state of emotional stress,

Many people would tell you to move on with your life but there are more honourable ways to leave the Military, men, resources and peace could be lost being on the watch for you,

There is no sign of you and they have no story for you, this could more complicated than you think, turn yourself in, you don't need any lawyer, get over the punishment, and resign, you are going through stress, that's just it, walk back to your unit, don't go looking for any lawyer, there is nothing to argue here all you need is grace and the fact that you seem medically stressed.

I wish you luck, it does not matter how much you currently earn, honour is honour and duty is duty.
