According to Premium Times, the soldiers this morning began to shoot indiscriminately into the air and even threatened to kill any senior officer who comes out to stop them. A military source in Borno who spoke on condition of anonymity said;
“The brigade is based in Bama but is currently deployed at Bula Bello in Sambisa for Operation Rescue Final. But suddenly soldiers started mutinying at 6AM today, firing in all directions and threatening to pull out of the operation. As some of them fire gunshots, some started preparing vehicles to move out of location. They also warned officers to steer clear or they would be shot dead. They are saying their commanders have been treating them badly and telling them lies. As I speak to you, the firing is still going on, and there is confusion everywhere.”This is not the first time soldiers are revolting against their superiors. In May 2014, angry soldiers at the newly formed 7th Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri revolted against their boss, Major General Abubakar Mohammed, shooting sporadically.

The rule in the military is "obey before complaints". You should never revolt against your superior no matter what (even if you're right)..revolt and die. It's simple as that.

ReplyDelete-D great anonymous now as Vivian Reginalds
Who do you call when soldiers are on rampage... Hmmmmm
ReplyDeleteThis has happened before and it is happening again because the root cause of the problem which most likely is cheating, corruption and injustice was never sincerely addressed and resolved. The earlier soldiers were just rounded up and sentenced to death, that will never solve the problem. lf soldiers cannot stand up for themselves who will stand up for them.

Truth is gradually creeping out. I have said it bf and still maintain that there is nothing like BH. what we have is military sabotage for more allocation of money. The game is up. The racketeers are in Borno & they are highly placed.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm, Baba must hear this!

ReplyDeletesome statements might be made with joke in mind, but wen looked at properly could equally be to dangerous for d speaker/writer. D last portion of ur statement exemplifies just dat. Easy Mr.
DeleteThe prophesy by Prophet TB Joshua don come to pass that the soldiers will revolt against their officers in North East. God, save this great nation!
ReplyDeleteGod will deliver this county
ReplyDeleteRisking one's life to save another is a great thing of honour cos many people cant and wont do it. These soldiers ought to be pampered, respected and valued cos what they do is not easy but Nigeria wil always be Nigeria. A place where u mean nothing if ur not rich. They already see these soldiers as dead people otherwise they will treat them with respect. God pls kindly reward these brave men and women who. Sacrifice daily for this country and protect them from harm....Amen
ReplyDeleteHmmmn,what a way to encourage others coming up.it use to be a thing of glory to serve your father land. Why are we frustrating those doing what we can't do? Why?
