227 Nigerian soldiers protest unlawful dismissal

227 soldiers serving in the North Eastern zone of Nigeria have protested their alleged dismissal from the Nigerian Army by the General Officer Commanding 3 Armoured Division Jos, Plateau State.

According to Leadership, the protesting soldiers led by Sergeant Abiona Elisha stormed the Nigerian Union of Journalists, Plateau state secretariat yesterday January 16th, holding placards calling for their reinstatement into the army.



According to their leader, they were dismissed from the Army on Tuesday January 13th after being called from their various operation units to face a panel at the barracks and without being given any fair hearing or told what their offenses were.

Some of the soldiers alleged that their refusal to fight members of Boko Haram in October 2014 led to their dismissal.
“We were dismissed this week Tuesday from the service of the Nigerian Army after sending us to go and suffer fighting insurgency in Adamawa, Yobe and Borno states. All of a sudden, we were recalled to the barracks and made to face trial. Even at the trial, we were not given the chance to defend ourselves. They just took a decision and dismissed us. We were not even told what our offences were during the so-called trial. We are surprised that we can be treated like this in our own country. We were sent to fight insurgents without weapons; a lot of our colleagues were killed in the course of defending our father land. Even those who are in hospital treating injuries they sustained from the battle field were also dismissed while still on hospital admission. The worst situation is that families of our colleagues killed in Adamawa and Yobe are languishing in hunger as the Nigerian Army refused to pay their entitlement ”Sergeant Abiona said 
When contacted, the the deputy director, army public relation of the 3 Armoured Division, Col Texas Chukwu denied knowledge of the dismissal of the soldiers.
“I have no knowledge of the issue, I just came back from Maiduguri, I am not aware if any soldier was dismissed.” he said

    2. Shits keep piling up cos of the weakest, unfocused leader any country can have. All his government knows how to do is deny their weakness without any form of amendment

    3. And the military heads will be talking gibberish when CNN broadcast such news. Smh.

    4. The Nigerian Army has code of conduct which is in the terms of employment agreement they signed. If they violated any, then they should be dismissed. You weren't forced into the army but you joined willingly which states that you must obey the last command. The only place you soldiers have strength is when you see defenceless civilians. Disobeying order in the military is tantamount to mutiny. Whether you were giving weapons or not, your terms of agreement, states that you must obey order from your superior. People shouldn't get emotional about this.

    12. The army would forever deny. There is so much corruption in this country. Why would they send the soldiers to go and fight Boko Haram with little weapons when they know the Boko Haram guys have more sophisticated weapons.

    13. Killings and Lawlessness didn't start today in the North. All the below list of bloodletting are verifiable on Wikipedia:

      1.) "Google Nigeria's Pogrom" It took place on May to October 1966, where more than 40,000 Southerners were MASSACRED in Northern Nigeria. Some were buried alive, others were crucified and killed gradually by having their eyes plucked out, their ears chopped off, their tongues cut and their manhood hacked off. The luckier ones just had their heads severed from their body. Women were raped & thereafter broken bottles forced into their womanhood.



      2). 1980 May: 2467 Christians killed in Zaria



      3). 1980 December 18‐20 Riots in Kano. The Maitatsine sect, 4,177 were killed.

      9). 1987 March. Katsina, Funtua, Zaria, Gussau and Kaduna (Kaduna State). A wave of religious riots, many churches were burnt and property destroyed, and many lives were lost.



      10). 1991 April In Katsina, several lives were lost. Shiite sect in Katsina led by Malam Yahaya Yakubu stired up trouble.



      11). 1991 April, in Tafawa Balewa University (Bauchi State) over 200 lives were lost with properties and 20 churches destroyed.



      12). 1991 October 14‐ 15. In Kano, the attempt of the Izala sect to stop Rev. Bonnke from preaching became violent. Thousands of Christians died & property destroyed. Conservative estimates (3800)



      13). 1992 February 6th and then May 15‐ 16: Zango Kataf, Zaria, Kaduna State Communal clash becomes a religious clash, with lives and property destroyed.



      14) Funtua (Katsina State). Kalaka to religious sect assaulted a village head. 50 lives were lost and properties destroyed.

      22). 2006 February:Sectarian violence sparked by cartoons of Islam’s most revered figure spread to 11 Nigerian cities resulting in the burning of 28 churches and pushing the total death toll to more than 650.

      23). Dogo na hauwa masacre 7th march 2010.

      Well, according to northerners, GEJ was responsible for the above history. Their argument is that North has always been peaceful before the emergence of Good Ebele Jonathan.
      The above recap shows North has always enjoyed spilling the blood of innocent Nigerians mostly christians, yet they want one Nigeria.

      What an irony!

Boko haram is a terrorist group not an hausa or igbo or yoruba fighting ish. The president is not doing enough to curb what is happening presently in the north. I don't know if the money they're paying you is what is diverting you from saying the truth but I pray it'll not be late for you to reason well. The soldiers are complaining, and here you're quoting thrash from the old school. When last did u witness yoruba and hausa clash or igbo and hausa or igbo and yoruba? This is terrorism we are talking about. If the president can't sort it, he's not fit to be called a president. Will it be like this if the terrorism act was happening in bayelsa??? Just ask yourself. Na me even get time to they reply you.

    1. As #FailBuhari 14th draws near. If you're voting remember these facts:

      1) In 2 years Buhari spent in power he didn't build a single university


      2) Buhari Sacked more than 50,000 Civil servants and cut
      allowance of lecturers in 1984

      leading to brain drain.


      3) Buhari re- introduced payment of school fees in all schools. He also banned school feeding program.

      4) Buhari's failed economic policy caused alot of hardship to Nigerians. Many cried while queueing for their portions of scarce commodities like rice,sugar, salt, milk and toiletries

      5) Buhari critised Federal Govt for being harsh on bokoharam members

      6) Under Buhari's watch,Islamic terror group called Maitasine slaughter more than 5,000 Nigerians with mere Bow and Arrow yet they say the Old man can defeat his Bokoboys

      7) Buhari Increased Nigeria externel debt by $3billion in just 1 years. Drove up Inflation by 41% , one of the worst in the history of Nigeria

      8) Buhari used gun to attempt to
      force down prices of goods in
      1984. What a novice in
      Economics.


      9) Buhari is an Islamist who want sharia to be enforced all over Nigeria

      10) He is also a jihadist

      11) Buhari promised blood bath if he does not win elections

      12) Buhari ask his supporters to Kill anybody that tries to rig 2011 election which led to the killing of many youth corpers.

People take oat to join the army with the mind that everything else, not 'will be taken care of', but is already taken care of - e.g., arms and ammunition to fight in the battle field (boko haram), welfare for them and their family if anything happens to dem in d course of carrying out their duties.

  37. Nigeria government should stop deceive us. They are not doing anything to tackle this insurgency, all the monies claimed to have spent are being diverted to other things. These soldiers have been complaining of being under equipped all these while. FGN and the leadership of Nigeria army need to tell us where they put our monies

As am talking rights now, am in Maiduguri where we all known is headquarters of boko haram, suicide bombs, we that are living in Maiduguri, we all known the way soldiers are suffer in those three state, which even I not mention their name u all known, am living in barrack, there is nothing u can tell me about how soldiers are suffering here,that I did known, all those our officers seating in abuja,did known what is happened here, but they like to give an order with out skills, how can u give someone katapot to fight person that holding AK47, is impossible, if our soldiers are whiled equip, only 21 armour bridge, can concert those boko haram,for me this dismiss that their dismissed those soldiers, if they not take a necessary action and call those soldiers back, I can tell u there is big problem are yet to born,God will help us in Jesus name.(amen)

  40. Well, I don't think dismissal of the soldiers is the best thing to do. What of if they decide to support the Boko Haram and fight the NA. Their should other better ways to punish them if they have erred.

  41. Clueless government. You are just creating angry/hungry trained solders. Wouldn't take much for BH to woo them to defect to their side.

  44. The masses needs to come out and support the protesting soldiers. We've heard from the soldiers that they are not well equipped, they and their families are not cared for. What evidence do we need again.

  55. what do dey want again,shebi they said there is no weapon for them to fight,let them go home and rest nau,in as much as we blame the federal government in this insurgency fight,we should also take the time to look at the approach of the ordinary Nigerian soldier,are they really commited to fighting this war or have they now turned to cry babies?

  56. Ah, if only President Jonathan would fire Major General Ihejirika and bring in competent people who are better equipped to handle Boko Haram.


    Oh wait, he did!

    You have Chief of Defence Staff, Air Vice Marshal Alex Badeh from Adamawa.

    You have Minister of Defence, Retired General Aliyu Mohammed Gusau from Zamfara State.

    You have National Security Adviser, Retired Colonel Sambo Dasuki from Sokoto State.

    And you then have the Inspector General of Police Suleiman Abba from Jigawa State.

    The fact these men still hold down jobs and are yet to be fired is an indictment on Mr. President. Or is he afraid they will say he does not care for the North? Maybe this one, he is part of a Southern conspiracy to destabilize the North using Northerners?

  60. So many things are going on in the Nigeria Army that Nigerians don't know about. I have 3 brothers serving in the army and one of them is battling presently with his life as he was shot 2 weeks ago by BH. This whole thing is politicised, they only send soldiers that are southerners without food and equipped weapons to fight BH. This is not just a speculation, it's very real.

  68. Assuming all the facts are true, then the soldiers have a good case against the Nigerian Army. No one should be convicted unheard; this is both a natural law as well as our constitutional prescription. Using the case of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden as an illustration, even God did not convict either without first hearing them and giving them a chance to defend themselves. I advise they get a good lawyer to sue the NA on their behalf for this unlawful dismissal. It is totally unacceptable.

  70. What kinda govt do we have for goodness sake

    ReplyDelete
  71. Is anyone wondering if there is a deliberate attempt to weaken the Nigerian military? The soldiers are being slaughtered daily by the better armed Boko Haram terrorist, some are court martialed to death while others are dismissed. it is disturbing that while the soldiers complain of lack of weapons and guns to fight Boko Haram, our government grants license to militants to procure warships. Are the warships going to be useful in landlocked Baga or Sambisa? Where is the sense in procuring warships at this time when soldiers do not even have guns to fight Boko Haram? Their have been other reports of ex-militants involved in arms deals like the South Africa seized jet saga last year, and so many others may be taking place unreported. It seems their is an evil propaganda to demoralize the Nigeran military and strengthen certain guerrilla forces/militants. Maybe it is all part of grand plan to disintegrate the nation if the election does not favor the incumbent government. I am very afraid for the future of our dear nation. I pray God will see us through.
