Army Commandant Imposes Lockdown to Prevent Personnel’s Family Participation in Nationwide Protest

The Commandant of the Depot of the Nigerian Army in Zaria, Kaduna State, Major General MA Abdullahihas issued a directive to personnel serving at the facility to prevent their families from joining the upcoming nationwide protest.

This protest, organized under the theme “EndBadGovernanceInNigeria,” is scheduled to take place on August 1.

He said “The depot, established in 1924, serves as a training ground for Nigerian soldiers. In light of the planned protest, which is driven by widespread discontent over inflation, hunger, and poor governance, some soldiers have voiced their support for the demonstrators.”
They argue that the hardship inflicted by the current government under Bola Tinubu, as well as previous administrations, has severely impacted them, particularly those in lower ranks.

Many soldiers have reportedly been forced to sell personal assets like cars, televisions, and housing properties to meet their basic needs.
In response to these developments, Major General Abdullahi has instructed that all entrance gates to the depot be closed from August 1 to August 10.

During this period, neither personnel nor their families will be allowed to enter or leave the facility.

This measure has been described by some soldiers as a severe restriction of their rights and freedoms.

According to sources at the depot, Abdullahi’s order effectively confines both soldiers and their families within the facility, with little regard for their personal circumstances.

Soldiers and their families, including civilian spouses who may be employed in essential services, are now facing significant challenges.

They argue that this lockdown infringes on their fundamental rights and hampers their ability to perform necessary duties or conduct daily activities.

The affected soldiers have expressed their frustration, calling for the intervention of the Chief of Army Staff.

They are demanding a review of Major General Abdullahi’s administrative decisions, which they believe are detrimental to both the morale and the well-being of the personnel under his command.

In as much as the protest is peaceful, it's unconventional to stop anybody from protesting.

Logically the reason those in authority are scared is because they know Nigerians are truly going through a lot and suffering.

They also know they are useless and bereft of ideas in solving the problems which is why they resort to intimidating the people.
