THURSDAY TOPIC: THE NIGERIAN MILITARY SHOULD BE QUESTIONED


   This topic stems from the recent mutiny that occurred in Maiduguri at the Maimalari barracks some days ago. According to reports, the soldiers were said to have been flared up by anger after they had seen the dead corpses of their comrades and also as a result of the reduction in their allowances, and alleged subjection to harsh treatments. The resultant effect was that they fired sporadically at their GOC's car while he narrowly escaped the armed soldiers. 
   These innocent and patriotic soldiers died as a result of miscalculated decisions from their officer in command after they tried to stay safe but were led into an ambush after following orders. This may not have been the first time an event like this would occur, just that it got to our ears. The issue must be addressed not internally, but externally. Why are the few good men who are trying their best to ensure our safety being slaughtered, and by whose orders? Questions should be posed to the army, and Major General Ahmadu Mohammed must be sanctioned. I don't think so many soldiers can make up a story just to fire at their commander. They as well cannot take to the streets to protest or wield banners saying ''#RessurectOurSoldiers''. We alone can create this impression. Questions must be asked.
