NIGERIAN SOLDIERS THREATEN BUHARI – Don't Force Us To Take Laws Into Our Hands(MUST READ)

The Nigerian soldiers are being paid according to their ranks and years of service. However, not all soldiers are receiving their salaries, according to those who write this open letter to President Buhari, asking to pay them money.

To Mr President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. We are officers and soldiers of Nigerian Battalion 45 (NIBATT 45 UNAMID) deployed on January 5, 2016 on a peacekeeping mission in Sudan.

Since our deployment, life had been so difficult for us. Even to communicate with our families has been a problem due to lack of finances.

The army has refused to pay us our allowances of $100 monthly since the beginning of the mission here in Sudan and this is the seventh months without payment.

Many of our soldiers undergo surgical operation due to poor feeding, no drug for us whenever we are sick. The only remedy for us when we are sick is to be referred to Pakistan hospital due to lack of drugs in Nigerian Contingent Level 1 Hospital.

We have been in this Mission in Sudan for seven months now yet our domiciliary account in Union Bank of Nigeria has only been credited with two months and 27 days salaries out of the 7 months so far.

We ask Mr President to look into this issue to make his anti-corruption campaign in the Armed Force a success. If nothing is done very soon, we will be force to take the law into our hands.
