.HQNigerianArmy Bars Borno Soldiers From Travelling Over Widespread Kidnapping On Damaturu-Maiduguri Road | Sahara Reporters
The Nigerian Army has barred soldiers from travelling on the Damaturu-Maiduguri Road in Borno State over the continued rise in the abduction of its men in the area."In view of the series or abduction of military personnel, I am directed to convey the suspension of passes till August 21," the letter read.
Reacting to the directive, the source who is a soldier, said it is unfortunate that he and his colleagues working hard to protect the country are at the mercy of gunmen due to a lack of appropriate measures to ensure their safety. He also decried the continued neglect of soldiers in the country, adding that the country has nothing good in stock for its citizens.
"Even today, they abducted six people on that road, including two soldiers from 5 brigade, Damasak. That's an issue. The country is going somehow, everybody is annoyed. If the politician that has nothing to offer this country can own a private jet, soldiers that have suffered for many years, are only given the opportunity to go and see their families once a year.
