About 200 ex-military men who fought on the side of the Nigerian Government during the Nigeria-Biafran War, on Wednesday, staged a protest to register their anger over the non-payment of their pensions in the past 44 years.

The aged men and women, armed with placards with various inscriptions to show their agonies, called on the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari , to look into their case.

Operating under the umbrella of the First Intake Able Voluntary Retired Or Discharged Ten Or More Years in Military Service, the National Coordinator, Pa Babawande Philips, who addressed journalists, said it was ungodly and wicked to have paid former Biafran soldiers and abandoned those of them who fought on the side of Nigeria.
