The soldier, a lance corporal, identified simply as Martins, was picked up in Sokoto and whisked to Abuja, for making a video lampooning the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and other service chiefs.
He said he was ready for court martial. He acknowledged that he might be arrested or probably killed for making the video, but he was ready to sacrifice himself for the country. If soldiers are not well motivated or are ill-equipped, there is no way they can give their best and only the best is good for the country.

The calls resonated across the country, most especially at the wake of the mindless killings and other depredations unleashed on most parts of the country by killer herdsmen and other terror groups. But the authorities do not appear to be swayed by the campaign.
Higher authorities should take more than a cursory interest in Lance Corporal Martins’ allegations and ensure that they are not swept under the carpet.
