We Have Been Betrayed – Sacked Soldiers.

-


Sacked soldiers has accused the Nigerian Army of betraying them after it dismissed some soldiers for allegedly disobeying a direct order from their commanding officer, the Hausa service of the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) reports.
Recently, the Nigerian army has dismissed some soldiers for asking for support equipment following the army’s plan to convey them for an operation in Bama and Gwoza, the strongholds of Boko Haram insurgents.
The dismissal of the soldiers followed a wave of court-martialling of some soldiers for mutiny and other offences in the troubled northeast.
One of the sacked soldiers told the agency that they refused to take part in the operation in the northeast because the Army did not provide them with the required combat and support equipment needed for such operations.
He alleged that their commanding officers push them into operations and the militants kill them just like that.
He said having engaged the insurgents in several past battles, a majority of the soldiers argued that the operation would be fierce, and therefore requested support equipment but instead they were tried and dismissed.

Two spills in 2008 affected about 35 sq miles (90 sq km) in southern Nigeria, according to a group suing Shell. The area included sensitive mangroves. Shell "dismisses the suggestion that it has knowingly continued to use a pipeline that is not safe to operate," it told the BBC . The emails, letters and internal reports submitted to a court in London show that senior Shell employees were concerned before the spill that Shell's pipelines in the area had reached the end of their lives and needed replacing to avoid danger to lives, the environment and the economy.
