ECOWAS Court Orders Nigerian Government To Pay 244 Dismissed Soldiers Benefits by ExAngel007(f): 3:10pm On Jun 26, 2020


An Economic Community of West Africa States
(ECOWAS) Court which sat in Abuja on
Thursday June 25, ordered the Nigerian
government to pay arrears of salaries and
other entitlements to 244 soldiers dismissed
from the Nigerian Army in 2016.

The soldiers who dragged the Nigerian
government to court after being accused of
allegedly abandoning the Boko Haram
insurgency fight and fleeing over alleged
inadequate provision of arms and
ammunition, demanded an enforcement of
their fundamental human rights, including the
right to their salaries and entitlements.

Premium Times reported that Justice Keikura
Bangura who rejected the soldiers' request to
be reinstated into the army, upheld their
application that their sack violated their
human rights, including right to work and fair
hearing.

The ECOWAS court which faulted the decision
of the Nigerian Army to dismiss the soldiers
on May 15, 2019, ordered the Nigerian
government to pay all arrears of monthly
allowances and salaries and other
entitlements of the affected soldiers up to
January 2016.

U push them to the battlefield with locally made & outdated ammonitions to go fight BK with sophisticated ones. Even though they've swore their allegiance to secure the nation, they deserve to die while fighting back. They knew if they had complained u people will arrest, lockup, dismiss or killed them at worst. That was why they ran away. And the high ranking 'political army' are busy looting funds meant for such purpose. I wipe for this country. Do not endorse any of ur family member to join army unless such person is joining as a trademan, probably as health care or legal practitionals.
