The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Faruk Yahaya, has denied claims that some soldiers of the Nigerian Army resigned from the service due to pressure, adding that soldiers are used to pressure. SaharaReporters had recently reported that 243 soldiers in the North-East and other theatres of operation applied to the Chief of Army Staff for voluntary retirement. The action comes amid worsening security challenges the military is currently combating in most parts of the country.

I laughed in kunfu. As if the Boko Haram have not been promoted already. They are the head over there and that's why insecurity has become the order of the day in Nigeria.

Their should be a window for engagement after this experience.

More mass resignation to come, just wait and see. Nigeria is a failed state and people has realised. Nigeria must be destroyed, nobody is a Nigeria

Army job is voluntary only those that ready to defend their mother land stays

Ahhh.... So like this now, I go join army today after 1year training na to go fight terrorist Una bad leadership with no proper care, even if I die under combat them no go still send my family now tell me why I no go resign when the mission self na suicide mission

Why is he using the word “pressure”. Isn’t that mischievous? Is the way you run your army the US or UK army run theirs! Where is motivation? Where are incentives?

Bt dey initially denied ds🙄🙄😒😒😒😏😏😏

This man will never state the exact reason he must tell us lies

There is nothing like mass resignation in the military

Loud hissssssss...Why won't they resign? When boko Haram has infiltrated the army,killed hundreds of them, superiors looted monies for equipment and army, tribalistic appointments. No sane person should be a Nigerian army or soldier

I don't blame them ,our govts are not serious at all

I have a brother in the military , we all know the reason , keep setting up and sacrificing soldiers all in the name of fighting government made terrorist , those resigning are wise , no room for stupid death

They're realising that this is true. That they're just servants to BokoHaram.

They will always lie

Honests cant stay with BokoHaram in extrajudicial killing civilians and also killing soldiers more Christians. The end of many in HQNigerianArmy is only IntlCrimCourt for crimes against Humanity. Before this moment zero credibility worldwide for a cove BokoHaram with proofs

Abegi gettout

Rotten core.

Is because Nigeria have expired

If care is not taken, one day a so called repentant bokoharam will be promoted to the rank of COAS in Nigeria and that will be game over for security in this country

Cos u guys r wicked , heartless, doae in the front line get paid pennies u behind a desk with ur pot belle enter front line or u don to big mr uniform

Naso

I no wan hear pim

Unserious government?

Must of the uniform security in Nigeria are terrorists so how would expect them to risk there life... just watch the video

Nigeria is gone

They have seen through your anus. Nonsense

This is the reason!!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙊

No Nigerian is interested with ur story... Go and end terrorists... If u like👈

When a particular set of tribe are the ones being recruited into the army, what do you expect? And not only thag, some are also sympathetic to boko haram. So it would be a risk to remain in such clime.

But no officer have done so.....

What do u expect wen u keep recruiting only people from a particular tribe into all the security armed forces

Lack of ammunition due to Corruption and embezzlement, willpower to crush terrorists, caused our gallant soldiers to resign in numbers. PDP fathered APC. Now APC is the new monster 👹

The Nigerian Military has been compromised as we now have repentant Boko Haram in the military. Some of the Northern leaders are sponsoring these terrorists so it's kinda hard for the military to defeat them, they better resign instead of wasting their lives out there.

Through buhari the devil killed Nigeria. But God will revive her through PeterObi

Soldiers: Some of the affected soldiers who spoke to SaharaReporters had cited loss of interest, intimidation by superiors, corruption in the army, and low morale as their reasons for resignation. Army: Due to Pressure… funny country, always covering up.

The uniform does not worth dying for. After dead, what plan do government have for their family ⁉️

Keep defending what is obviously wrong

Fulani army chief are selling them out to fulani terrorists.

Mazi Nnamdi Kanu told them earlier before now that they should resign but they gave a deaf ear to his word. Why resigning now? Mad people everywhere!

They realise they have been offered a new Republic Zoological_Republic 🤣🤣🤣

When na two soldiers resign, them say the letter na fake.... until e turn mass resignations ....

This whole resignation bothers on Nepotism which might have been introduced by the present Govt. Does Nigerian Govt understand the damage she is doing to the Nigerians unity ? The cost of training a soldier and the assets they are pushing away? How will the society cope?

Army Constitutes Panel To Probe Alleged Killing Of Islamic Cleric By SoldiersThe Nigerian Army has constituted a Board of Inquiry to investigate alleged murder of an Islamic cleric, Sheikh Goni Gashua, in Yobe State. If he had a hand in the insecurity bedeviling the land, why the need for the probe? In fact anyone with a hand in banditry and terrorism has to be annihilated to avoid festering others.

MURIC: Soldiers involved in murder of Islamic cleric are a disgrace to armyThe Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC) has condemned the killing of Shaykh Goni Aisami, an Islamic cleric, by a 'soldier' in Yobe state. DefenceInfoNG Islamic who are involved in murder of Christians in the north are disgrace to Muslim 🙄 DefenceInfoNG DefenceInfoNG As it has been happening in the East, if a Christian cleric was the one killed by soldiers, all the military spokesperson will say is 'he is an IPOB member' and that ends it. At least that statement will justify his death.
