These were the first group of Nigerian soldiers to expose the injustice and corruption within the Nigerian Army while fighting Boko Haram in the Northeast in 2014. They were also the first to wage a fierce and determined campaign against the insurgents. Yet, when they later discovered that some senior generals had no real desire to end the conflict, these soldiers stood firm and refused to be used as mere cannon fodder. In an instant, they were branded enemies of the state: arrested, court-martialled, and imprisoned for years. Eventually, they received a presidential pardon from President Buhari, only to be dishonourably discharged without any compensation or benefits. Today, some of them eke out a living as local shoemakers, fishermen, traders, pastors, and in other modest occupations. The very nation they served with passion and zeal has turned its back on them, while the Boko Haram fighters—the very destroyers of the country—are being rehabilitated and compensated with state resources. I like the way they held their shoulders high What a cruel irony. 𝐶𝑅𝐸𝐷𝐼𝑇: 𝑇𝐻𝐸 𝑀𝑂𝑂𝑁
