Soldiers Mutiny In Maiduguri #Hotweb has learnt that soldiers from
the newly formed 7th Division of the Nigerian
Army today mutinied in their barracks
against Major General Abubakar Mohammed,
their General Officer Commanding. Two
soldiers who spoke to our correspondent
revealed that numerous soldiers shot
sporadically into the air at Maimalari
Barracks, which is also home to the Artillery
Corps, the Ordinance, as well as army
signals in Maiduguri.
The 7th Division was formed only recently as
a unit devoted to fighting the war against
Boko Haram. General Mohammed was
appointed as the GOC in February 2014.
One of the sources revealed that the situation
was extremely tense, adding that the GOC
escaped by the whiskers as the mutiny by
angry soldiers could have degenerated into a
personal attack on him.
Our sources said the soldiers became
enraged when they saw the bodies of their
colleagues ambushed by Boko Haram
terrorists in Chibok, a town in Borno State
that has spurred global protests over the
abductions of schoolgirls by members of the
extremist Islamist sect.
The restive soldiers complained that their
superior have not provided them with
adequate weaponry with which to fight the
war against the better-armed Boko Haram
militants.
“We the soldiers don’t have the kind of arms
and ammunition that [Boko Haram] fighters
have. So everyday, they kill our men anyhow,
but it is never published in the media,” said
one source. The other source also
complained that the commanding officers
“are too busy ‘eating’ money. And they do
not pay our allowances on time. And once [a
soldier dies], nobody knows what happens to
his allowances again.”
The two soldiers also disclosed that the
mutinying soldiers were fed up that their
military commanders have not devised a
troop rotation system to ensure that those in
combat can get some rest before being
redeployed to continue the bloody and
frustrating war with Boko Haram insurgents.
Residents who live near the barracks also
told our local correspondent that they heard
the sound of sporadic exchange of gunfire.
“We thought that may be Boko Haram was
attacking and the army was trying to push
them back,” one resident said.
SaharaReporters could not immediately
confirm the whereabouts of the GOC or
reports of injuries in the barracks.
