"Travel related anxiety and hardship" were the terms used to describe the cause. The report didn't exactly say it was caused by rigorous training.
I'm not disputing, just pointing that out.

freddybonz:

freddybonz:

I understand what you’re saying, and I’m not disputing that people may have been withdrawn from the camp. My concern is just that we should be careful about stating the reason as a confirmed fact when we may not have the official details.
For banned substances or drugs, that one is understandable if they tested positive, especially where such substances are prohibited by the recruitment/training rules.
For alcohol, however, I think there is an important distinction. As far as I know, alcohol itself is not generally an illegal substance in Nigeria. Therefore, if the camp has a rule prohibiting alcohol possession or consumption, a trainee can certainly be disciplined or withdrawn for violating that rule. But that is different from saying that testing positive for alcohol automatically means the person has committed an offence.
Also, an alcohol test can only tell us what the particular test is capable of detecting and within its relevant detection window. It doesn't necessarily establish when the person consumed the alcohol. So unless we know the type of test used, when it was administered, and the specific camp rules governing alcohol, I think it is better not to draw conclusions beyond the available information.
I personally don't take alcohol and haven't taken it for years, so I'm not defending alcohol consumption. My point is simply that we should distinguish between illegal substances, violation of camp regulations, and general alcohol consumption.
There may also be other reasons for withdrawal, such as gross indiscipline or other breaches of the camp's code of conduct. If the authorities have officially communicated the reasons, then that would give us something concrete to discuss.
No disrespect to anyone sharing information here. I just think we should be careful not to create unnecessary fear among people who are currently in the process.
