Nigerian Army Denies 25 Officers Resigned Over Corruption

The Nigerian Army has denied reports that 25 soldiers resigned because of poor welfare and corruption.

An online publication had reported that 25 soldiers manning war vehicles in the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps resigned to protest corruption and poor welfare conditions.

But the Army in a statement today by its spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu, said the soldiers resigned voluntarily, stressing that retirement in the service is routine.

Refuting the poor welfare allegation, Onyema said the Army recently raised the Ration Cash allowance and provided a conducive environment for its personnel to effectively carry out their constitutional duties.

He also said the Army had implemented a policy aimed at rotating troops on the frontline.
