Nigerian Soldier Laments Killing Of Colleagues In Taraba, Blasts Army Authorities Over Terrorists
A video of a soldier asking his colleagues to leave the Nigerian army over poor treatment by senior officers has surfaced online.
According to the soldier, the non-retaliation of the killing of soldiers of the 93 battalion in Taraba shows that their lives mean nothing to the army authorities.
While the Army spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu said troops of the 93 Battalion had launched an operation to rescue the abducted senior officer, the soldier in the trending clip dismissed the report.
He said failure to retaliate against the killing would make him lose respect for the army authorities, adding that the morale of most soldiers was low.
Those killed were Dauda Tata (7NA/44/4046), Yusuf Salihu (95NA/40/5031), Ndubuise Okonkwo (96NA/42/6911), Abdullahi Ibrahim (13NA/70/7901), Emmanuel Jerry (14NA/72/14051) and Sani Isa (14NA/72/15462).
On Tuesday gunmen suspected to be terrorists attacked a military convoy in Tati village, Taraba State, killing six soldiers and abducting a commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Ememike S. Okore (N/11717).
