Victoria, Wife Of Lance Corporal Martins Arrested For Granting Media Interview by Lamasta(m): 12:37pm On Jun 26, 2020
Mrs Victoria, wife of Lance Corporal Martins, has been arrested for granting a media interview over her husband's arrest, Sahara Reporters has discovered.

In a viral video published by SaharaReporters, Lance Corporal Martins complained about the inadequate measures employed by the army in combating Boko Harm.

He blamed the Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen Tukur Buratai, for the failings of millitary personnel in crushing Boko Haram. 

Lance Corporal Martins was later arrested and transfered to the Army Headquarters in Abuja. 


Speaking with SaharaReporters on Wednesday, Mrs Victoria said fending for her three children has been her major worry since her husband's arrest. 

She said, "A day before he posted the video, he called me to ask for recharge card to buy data but I didn't send it him because he already told me that he wanted to post a video about the problems they are facing in the army. 

"He told me to prepare for the worst. So, I didn't send him the data because I don't want him to get into trouble by uploading the video on social media."

The woman said she asked her husband how they will manage their family if he was sanctioned and things go worst. 

She said, "I asked him where do we start as a family. But he said I should man up, that I've been the one taking care of the family before now."

Mrs Victoria said her husband was one, who will not refrain from speaking the truth because of fear or favour.

"Day before yesterday, he was on off and he resumed duty yesterday.  

"He made a video call with the children after he resumed at the office. 

"Not up to 30 minutes later, he called that they've arrested him and they are taking him to the guard room. He said if you hear from me, fine, if you don't hear from me, fine. 



"My husband's main issue/complaint is that there is no ammunition to fight in the North-East, no ammunition, if you complain it's a problem.

"They don't pay them well. Navy get more pay, army don't get all their allowances that should be given to them

"I can't hear from him, they've collected his phone and his colleagues don't want to release information about him."

You arrested husband & wife for telling the truth? Same truth Maj.Gen.Adeniyi confirmed? What is wrong with these people? The present army & nation leadership under the APC are just sheer wicked.

They that lives on lies and propaganda will suffer and dies from same.No amount of threat or intimidation can stop the truth.

I await the NA to tell us what actually transpired.

Let them free this poor woman and lie to us as usual

Arresting the woman if its true is a gross violation of her Human rights

He husband signed up for this work and not her, if she trespass, its a civilian police matter

Does doing things the right way hurt?


The man was wrong in saying the absolute raw truth, you have arrested him for saying the truth so why the wife?

Burutai should face modernizing our Obsolete Army instead of trying to set example

He will only end up in generating more embarrassing videos

This is not the Army i know unless i was heavily deceived

Tinubu is a failure. See the type of democracy Tinubu used treachery and betrayal to bring in.
Now Tinubu is fighting for his political life.

The way Afonja was used to betray Iloring people is what you have done.
We warned you but you thought you were smart.
You want the Fulanis to help you capture the south so that you will be president
just like Afonja invited the Fulanis to help him capture his rival in Ilorin.

Tinubu, you can now see that you are not smart.
You are the greatest mugu to walk on the soil of Oodua land.

MURIC is another Afonja, by the time that one is through with Yoruba people,
you will realize that freedom for Biafra is the freedom for Yorubas

I'm confused.

Are all of us Nigerians just suppose to watch this man get killed because he came out to say the truth?

No words from religious leaders, human rights activists, entertainers, nobody. But a few weeks ago it was all about black lives matter in America.

But this brave soldiers life doesn't matter?

Lamasta:

Thats why I said when we are united as a people...Remember the subsidy protest in Jan 1 during Goodluck regime? all the country was grounded, by that same spirit we can make a case against the govt irrespective of police or security agencies cos majority of them will have no choice cos all of us are feeling the heat....

But that was possible because certain leaders were at the forefront.

If we had the Bishops, GO's, Imams, A grade entertainers and the human rights activists at the fore front of the protest, we can Que behind them. Thats what happened during the subsidy protests. People queued behind leaders like Tunde Bakare, Wole Soyinka, Femi Kuti and the rest. You don't open fire on people like that, because that will generate such an outcry that can unseat a government. But if na me and you, they will whisk us away in a matter of seconds, and nobody will ever remember that we protested.

That is why i am particular about our so called religious leaders and entertainers that we do so much to keep on the high. But when it is time for them to use their platform to do something reasonable, dem go miss. Nonsense.

Just imagine If we had an Adeboye, Catholic Bishops, oyakhilome, Bakare, Tuface, Davido, Pete Edochie etc with their followers etal, leading protests from different angles on the same matter: demanding the release of this man and the immediate sack of the service chiefs, do you not think that we would achieve speedy result?

Revolutions would eventually happen with severely oppressed populations, see Tunisia's Jasmine revolution that birth the Arab spring.

I can't say what the eventual trigger will be but we need a crazy one to wake our collective docility.

angry angry Whoever did this to Naija will suffer it.

It's unfortunate. I think they now lack words to describe BH situation.

Technically defeated, tactically maneuvered etc Sotay they went on Jumia and bought toy drones.


If someone speaks the truth instead of finding out assuming they were honest humans, they prefer arrest. Martins is not the only soldier that have said the same thing.

It seems they are getting cosy with the military allocation for this war that they don't wish an end no more.
