Military Accused Of Training Troops In Bathroom Slippers & Without Uniforms (Photos)

A video shared last night on the official

Facebook page of Aljazeerah showed

photos of a man who claimed to be a

Nigerian soldier attached to the 3rd

armored division training in bathroom

slippers and without uniforms at the

Nigerian Army Training Center in

Katangura, Niger state.

According to the soldier who shared the

photos, he is one of the recently

reinstated soldiers who was fired by

Goodluck Jonathan’s administration for

refusing to fight Boko Haram.However he

refused to reveal his identity for fear of

being penalised. 

Read what he said below…..

“How can someone be training with his

bathroom slippers[left][/left]? How could

someone be training in his ordinary

clothes? None of us having rifle. None of

us having uniform. Majority of soldiers

are hungry” he said

Speaking further, he accused the military

management of embezzling the fund for

soldiers’ welfare.

“I beleive the government released the

money but it is unfortunate that some

people have decided that that is the only

way of making their million”.

He said that the homes where their

wives and children stay lack electricity,

good toilet facility or running water.

Chief of Army staff, Lt. Gen Tukur

Buratai however said soldiers mustn’t

train in their uniforms.

“You dont have to always train in your

uniform. The ethics is been dispatched to

their units for them to be relocated and

to be rearmed”
