Documents show Nigerian Army's claim on soldiers' exit inaccurate

PREMIUM TIMES last Saturday reported that 380 soldiers were exiting the Nigerian Army, with 356 of them citing “loss of interest” and the rest 24 leaving “to take traditional titles”., labelling the report as “fake and malicious news by supporters of Boko Haram.”Also, the Nation newspaper, on Sunday, reported an army source disputing the story and claiming that the affected soldiers were retiring having attained the statutory 35 years in the service.

The letter was attached with the list of the 380 soldiers voluntarily disengaging and the list of the six leaving for medical reasons. A soldier’s service number indicates their year of enlistment and this is given for each of the soldiers on the list.
