Soldiers, their spouses and children have had to trek to a nearby river to bathe and also collect some water for domestic purposes.

Military personnel and their family members at Wellington Bassey Army Barracks 6 Battalion, Ibagwa-Abak, Akwa Ibom State, have been forced to endure terrible living conditions over the past three months.

Military personnel, who can afford sachet water known in local parlance as 'pure water', ration its usage for drinking in their homes as a result of the financial implication. The soldier disclosed that due to the distance of the river from the barracks and the stress of carrying heavy containers to fetch water there, some people in the barracks don't bathe sometimes but use sachet water to clean vital parts of their bodies, just to avoid smelling.

"Imagine, we as soldiers defending Nigeria as a country, going to bathe in a river while our wives and children carry buckets and containers to fetch water there for domestic use."People are falling ill often because of the dirty water they are forced to use for bathing and cooking sometimes. "It is better for government to look into our situation urgently before things get out of hand," the military officer said.

But more than one year after his visit and intervention, lack of electricity and water supply remains a major problem at Wellington Bassey Army Barracks 6 Battalion, Ibagwa-Abak.

It's so sad Nigerian soldiers welfare is not priority to the govt. I've been to and slept in 3 military barracks in South East and the living conditions is disgraceful. How do you give people right to bear arms and treat them that bad?

Who cares? What the fuck are they doing in akwa ibom? They should all move to the north where their services are needed. No body should restore water or power to them in that barracks. You ran away from north where there is war to hide down south where there is no war. Ants!!

Animals are better

The same soldiers that will be deployed by their masters against the citizens? Are you expecting the citizens to sympathise with these Lawless thugs that are used against the citizens in a most Lawless way?
