This preemptive story will not stop hijab from being banned if it further increase the activities of suicide bombers. |
The 3032 soldiers, who were pardoned last
August for various offences during campaigns against the
Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram, in the North East of
Nigeria, have rejected posting to the fronts.
The soldiers explained that they were never really pardoned
and re-integrated into the Army, but rather, re-sentenced to
the war front.
Vanguard learned this created anxiety at the Command and
Staff College, Nigerian Army School of Infantry, NASI, Jaji,
Kaduna state, when over 3,000 soldiers – who claimed to
have been subjected to unimaginable ill treatment after
their pardon – were gathered by the Commandant of NASI,
Major General Kassim Aldulkareem, to inform them that
they have been assigned new riffles and should be ready for
deployment to the fronts on the 11 January, 2016.
No reinstatement letters
According to sources, the soldiers complained that they have
not been fully re-instated into the Nigerian Army, because
attempts by them to report to their units were rejected at
their bases since they have no re-instatement letters.
The soldiers also said that since they have been kicked out
of the barracks they have not been paid for seven months
making their families who live off-barracks begging for food.
It was gathered that, they cried, “We are not going! Give us
re-instatement letters! You are sentencing us back to war,”
among others. According to sources, the Commandant
hurriedly left when the soldiers were becoming
uncontrollable.
One of the soldiers who spoke to some newsmen on
grounds that his name not be mentioned said: “Look at me; I
have put in about 28 years of my life serving this country. I
have seen action in Liberia; I have been to Rwanda, Sudan
and even served overseas and we the Nigerian troops did
very well and were decorated in some occasions.
“But, our experience in fighting to save our motherland is
too sad a story for the outside world to know. We are not
cowards. We held on for over four months facing Boko
Haram.
“I just want to say that after the Army dismissed about 5,000
of us, 3032 of us were pardoned last August. Since that time,
the Army Authority has treated us like prisoners of wars.
Asked to assemble in Jaji
“We were told to assemble in Jaji on August 17, which we
did. Then on August 19, the General Officer Commander,
GOC, of 1st Infantry Division, Maj. Gen Adeniyi Oyebade
gathered us and without prior noticed moved us to Nigerian
Army training Centre, NATRAC, Kontogora. Some of us found
ourselves there in bathroom slippers. We were just taken
straight to the place. Then, without any additional clothes or
uniform, we were subjected to what was clear punishment,
not training for another three weeks.
“Still in the clothes we came, we were again relocated to 333
artillery Barracks, Njetilo, Maiduguri. We got nothing but
constant insults as cowards. We were there without uniforms
no arms. They just left us there and we were abused and
told to assemble at every two hours through these days for
another three weeks.
“In Jaji, we went through another round of punishment, not
training. Yet, we were not given any letter to show that we
are still serving soldiers.
“So when the Commandant came and said we were going
back to the North East, without clearing our status, we felt
we have been punished enough.” he said.
The Public Relations Officer, PRO, of the Nigerian Infantry
Corps, Major C.K Abaide, told our correspondent on phone
that he was not aware of the development.
“I shall reach you back immediately I have our side of the
story”, he said, but never did at the time of sending this
report.

Goridoe:Lol! I don't need to |
ABUJA—FORMER Speaker of the House of Representatives,
Dimeji Bankole, who is currently facing trial in two courts for
alleged fraud and loan conversion, was in a dejected mood
yesterday following his week-long detention in the not-so-
cosy EFCC custody.
An EFCC operative, who would not like to be mentioned, told
Vanguard that Bankole has obviously lost his cool after
more than seven days in custody.
He said: “The man has lost some of his ‘swag’ after all these
days in almost solitary confinement. He appears dejected
and frustrated at his condition. Everyone who is accustomed
to living lavishly would feel the same way when those
niceties are taken away, even if momentarily.”
The operative noted, however, that the former number four
man in the polity was not enjoying any preferential
treatment from the operatives detailed to guard him,
adding: “No; he is treated like any other suspect in our
custody, though we make sure that he gets access to his
lawyers and other people who matter to the case. Don’t
forget that he is being held under orders from the court.”
Those who have visited him say the former speaker is being
detained in an underground cell at the EFCC headquarters
with only a mat for him to sleep on.”
He said: “Our cells are relatively new and well-kept. Don’t
forget that they are the same cells that held other high
profile suspects including former governors, former
ministers and chief executives of banks, and I do not
remember anyone of them coming back to say we treated
them badly.”
Bankole was arrested penultimate Sunday at his Asokoro
residence after weeks of ‘hide and seek’ with operatives of
the EFCC.

buzquet:That is not the plan nah |
BeeBeeOoh:Na prefix and suffix. It is allowed in order to confound name checkers crew to wean them off the practice |
natasha:For her to keep her husband in the dark about who her employer is reeks of ulterior motive. Btw how do you believe that she is paid only 40k yet used flight here and there? Talking about sacrifice, you sound as if her staying with her husband should be regarded as a great favour. This kind of woman doesn't get satisfied with anything and in most cases there is nothing anyone can do to please her type. |

The 1st pix is not cleavage abeg. It's overload |
When will these men be jailed? That's my own |
dumodust:No reasonable person should argue with a soldier in Nigeria let alone hinder their movement for whatever reason because you and I know what will ensues. However, I don't support the soldiers for killing them but it annoys me that they led to their own dead which could have been avoided had it been they didn't pelt at the soldiers when they were asked to leave the road |
Put this man and his cohorts where they belong. |
Why should they block public roads? |
Fayose just close ur eyes and wait for the stroke but if you open ur eyes wide expecting it, the fear alone could be extremely excruciating. Just close ur eyes and remember to put ur palms on ur lips lest u scream out loudly to ur own shame. |
It can only gets worse. What a country |
How I wish it was that fat pig |
Sack him quickly pls! He brought back charges on ATM use when Sanusi had relieved bank customers of such shortchanging |
Thank God it's Buhari, a muslim that is the President so that they will not cry foul from above. In other words, Biafra should take note too. They shouldn't cry wolf when they over step their bound. |
