The Federal Government has said that 102 ex-Biafran soldiers granted presidential pardon, have been captured for payment of gratuity and other emolument by the Military Pensions Board (MPB).

The Minister of Defence, Major General Salihi Magashi (rtd), disclosed this at the ministerial briefing to flag-off the 2022 Armed Forces Remembrance Day at the Army War College in Abuja.

He noted that the war ended 51 years ago and many of those involved are no more alive, therefore, only 102 of the war veterans were captured for the payment.

The Minister, however, urged those with genuine complaints to come forward with their claims for consideration.

According to him, “payment of pensions and gratuities to retired military personnel is now prompt and regular. In line with the anti-corruption stand of the present administration, the Ministry of Defence in conjunction with the Military Pension Board conducts regular verification exercise for Military pensioners. The exercise is intended to streamline and check leakages in the system.

“It will interest you to know that the Military Pension Board just concluded the documentation of ex-Biafran service personnel totaling 102 who were pardoned by Mr. President. The Ministry would continue to engage the pensioners through relevant organs like the Nigerian Legion, the Veteran Affairs Division and the Military Pension Board to ensure that government obligations to them are met.”

Restating the significance of the Armed Forces Day celebration, the Minister explained that “the Armed Forces Remembrance Day Celebration is organised annually by the Ministry of Defence to honour our fallen heroes who laid down their lives in service to humanity during the First and Second World Wars, the Nigerian Civil War, Peace Support Operations and various Internal Security Operations particularly the current war against terrorism that is threatening the corporate existence of our dear fatherland.

The madness some people rushed out from, some are just returning to it

Nnamdi Kanu should have appreciated these ex biafran soldiers if really believed in actualisation of Biafra. These were Nigerian soldiers who defected and fought along side Ojukwu but poverty has led them to repent and seek for their gratuity from Nigerian government.

BMC crew new assignment is propaganda against Biafra. Unfortunately, MNK has finished work before Buhari realised what's up. It's nice to play catch up sha. Just that you guys don't know where to point your guns, because the struggle has gone amorphous. Lol

Biodun, mind yourself so that you will not be unfortunate like those before you. There is no single positive thing about the heartless terrorist hiding inside the Rock.

Any son of Oduduwa that still support the heartless blood sucking vampire will be cursed by the gods of out land. Fulani herdsmen will visit the family of such persons to kill, to steal and to destroy them.

I'm not in any way in support of Buhari or the APC led government but, this move (if true and transparent) is a welcome development.

Criticism should be different from hate. We can criticize and or condemn the move/policy if we feel is wrong or done wrongly- but blatantly condemning it simply because it's from and by the Buhari led government will make us appear to be 'armchair critics'.
