The over 500 soldiers reportedly dismissed on the 1st of February in this year for refusing to fight Boko haram have been pleading for the reinstatement into the Nigerian Army.
A section of the dismissed soldiers also storms a radio program called Brekete Family. It is a popular humanitarian program that is hosted daily 104.5 Love Fm Mpape Abuja, their aim is to use the medium to protest for their reinstatement.
But it turns out that they have started causing mayhem in that streets of Mpape with their display of thuggish attitude. They were seen fighting, smoking Indian hemp and also beating innocent civilians creating chaos in the area.
Recently they had a brawl with some policemen when they were caught smoking hemp, but they challenged two armed officers trying to disarm them. With the quick intervention of more mobile policemen that quickly responded to their calls that they were able to save the day and quickly arrested these ex-soldiers and took them away. One even escaped their grip with handcuff on his wrists.
The dismissal of over 500 trained soldiers is a big threat to this nation considering the economy. We urge our able leaders to handle this situation before it escalates.
