The soldiers also claimed that they have been subjected to unimaginable ill treatment after their pardon. They also said that since they have been kicked out of the barracks they have not been paid for seven months hence have been living from hand to mouth.
The Commandant of NASI, Major General Kassim Aldulkareem, informed them that they have been assigned new riffles and should be ready for deployment to the fronts on 11 January, 2016.
However, 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 haven't been given their re-instatement letters.
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 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.
“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.

DeleteGod help us
DeleteIf this is true, then it's unfair. They have tried no human is perfect and instead of this treatment they should have just dismissed them all. Fighting isn't easy, they need to be encouraged in all areas.
DeleteHmmmmmmm. I reserve my comment

We Nigerians support them. This is not insubordination on their part. Military personals must adequately be equipped to fight insurgency or it becomes suicidal otherwise
ReplyDeleteNo they cannot do this to them they are humans they should be given re- instatement letters if they need their services an pay their salary Na like this terrorist dey start.
ReplyDeleteEver lasting fear don dey these soldiers body,pls don't force them to fight,let them go back to there families

The politics inthe Nigerian army continues.
ReplyDeleteI knew something was amiss all dis while.
ReplyDeleteNawa oh
ReplyDeleteNawa
ReplyDeleteThey would've been given absolute pardon...instead of risking their lives in the name of fighting boko haram
ReplyDeleteWho is supposed to fight boko haram abeg Linda tell me. all this stupid idiotic faint-hearted soldier... Double your hustle
ReplyDeleteChai!! These people are human beings with family too naa, a little fairness won't be bad. Take heart soldiers #borntoserve#
ReplyDeleteSure they should have known that their pardon was political. Now let us see what they will be treated to as. Mutiny? Awol?
ReplyDeleteAm so loving my country
the Army should do something about this na....
ReplyDelete#WhoshouldItell
Iam a military personnel I can understand what this soldiers are talking about!!its so sad but military personnels and their familiesare nit well appreciated in this ccountry hopefully this soldiers will get the justice they all deserve.
ReplyDeleteYou and I know that any mutiny is not welcomed. Unless you are saying they didn't commit mutiny before their unceremonial pardon. They have two life line to this saga and should use it. Otherwise even this refusal is with consequence.
DeleteNigeria armed forces in Nig are treated like piece of garbage. But that's same with other government setup in Nigeria. The difference now is that the treatment empower them to destructive tendency which they are carrying out armless innocent civilians.
Only in Nigeria... Something has not been right from the very beginning. How can Soldiers be sentenced to death for cowardice? Soldiers who have been to several war fronts and came back still standin? Its actually a good they refused cos this deployment seems like the authority wants to get rid of them through another means where no one will suspect foul
ReplyDeleteToo bad for our dear niger....
ReplyDeleteThis is an kill treatment and indirect sentencing.
ReplyDeleteNot fair at all but thats typical of Nigerian Army giving punishment inform of training..
ReplyDeletehmmmm very bad.
ReplyDeletethey better resign then, what else were they paid to do than fight???
ReplyDeleteWhy is Nigeria like this???? Discharge them or pardon them pls...
ReplyDeleteLol...fear dey catch dem sha. Who go kom protect us if our so-called soldiers they fear to confront the Boko boiz??? God help us
ReplyDeleteLol,cowardly soldiers.when jona said it mbuhari said its becos jona didn't give the soldiers adequate weapons. And we all wanted to eat jonas head...yet buhari is sending this soldiers to fight with the weapons jona bought when he buhari hasn't bought a single weapon.who will condemn buhari now just as we condemned jona...this govt claims that jona didn't provide arms and arms money was chopped,therefore resulting in loss of lives of soldiers and civilians.and that the failure of jona to provide adequate arms was why we haven't started winning the war..fastforward 7 months later,Buhari admin is winning the war by using the same inadequate weapons they blamed jona for not upgrading...lol...pdp are thieves,apc are liars,incompetent and thieves too...Now we can see that jona is not to be blamed for this and the soldiers are cowards.but if we must blame jona then we must also blame buhari...apc can't have it both ways............Linda take Note!!!
ReplyDeleteWat are u saying anon...,read bw d lines, they are talking about d manner they were humiliated instead of been retrained in line with military standard rule, second is issue is dat of their status, or dnt u knw dat Nigerian Army is a professional body wit standard procedure of doing things? Pls undstnd their point b4 condemning dem,bcos there is a breach by d Army authority, period!!!!!

ReplyDeleteAmen oooo
DeleteAbeg make them no go anywhere without being given a letter of serving Nigeria soldiers
ReplyDeleteDis group of soldiers have proven to b cowards and nothing more, its very obvious dis ppl ar just there to discourage others who are fighting. Nigeria army shld disengage dem and let dem b.
ReplyDeletePls don't go. Nigeria is not even the type of country to die for, We'll be on to the next one so fast after you die. There has to be civilization in all aspects of government
ReplyDeleteStupid country that doesn't value their soldiers, look at how other countries values and respect their soldiers,always been there for them in time of their distress...

Nigerians should learn to do things right.
ReplyDeleteRespect is reciprocal ooo.

This Country Nigeria Sucks, Sending someone with an Empty Stomach to War.... Shame.
ReplyDeleteThis is so bad..
ReplyDeleteThey better run away...
ReplyDeletethen most unfortunately, they aren't Soldiers. Because they have been sent there with their wealth of experience of the terrain and better equipped than before. They have no excuse not going there. They have really disappointed the Military Corp with this latest decision of theirs if confirmed to be true.
ReplyDeleteDon't call southerners to fight ur battle buhari. U where one of the bastards who killed Igbo soldiers in the North. Shey it was sweeting u killing un harmed igbos . Now the true God would use ur poison to clean u and everybody who supported the killings . Just watch!
