BBC explaining why himself and some other soldiers
refused the order from their superiors to go fight Boko
Haram insurgents. He alleged that they were not provided
good weapons and ammunition and so gave Boko Haram
the upper hand during any battle because the militants are
more well equipped (read that here ).
Now the Defence Headquarters says the man who spoke
with BBC is an impostor. Their statement below
That degree of cowardice is not in the character of a
real soldier of the Nigerian Army. The series of lies
contained in the alleged responses of the faceless
person referred to as a soldier confirms the whole
arrangement as another step of the mischief makers
working for terrorists. No soldier has been sent on
any mission without being armed. Each soldiers
answers for his action in terms of discipline.
Anyone who knows the military reward for mutiny will
not join another person to try it. The overwhelming
majority of the Nigerian soldiers remains as brave
and disciplined as ever. They will certainly not join
any renegade, coward, deserter or those trying to
incite mutiny in the military to betray the nation at
time like this, in a way that impostor told his
interviewers. His claims are false.
Certainly soldiers are not being sent to die. We may
not have everything now, but we are improving on
weapons and equipment rapidly
