DAILY POST learnt that his colleagues took him down before he perpetrated further damage.
Although there was no evidence of any engagement that may have resulted in the action taken by the soldier, reports simply put that he was depressed having been at the battle front for a long time. “She was not a UN staff but the pilot is. We could not fetch reasons for the action rather than put that the soldier was depressed. For now, I cannot tell you their names as we are yet to complete our investigation on the matter. This is rather sad but we hope that the Nigerian authority will do sometime to stop aggressiveness against humanitarian workers by some men in uniform and to take a step in ensuring the need is done for soldiers in such conditions,” a source said.
