The mother of a Nigerian soldier has publicly criticised the government, accusing authorities of neglecting her son and other troops currently fighting insurgents in remote areas.
In an emotional video circulating online, the elderly woman explained that she is the widow of a former soldier who served in the Nigerian Army for 36 years.
She said that throughout her husband’s long military career, he never experienced the level of hardship that her son and other soldiers are now facing while deployed in the bush. According to her, her son often calls to describe the difficult conditions he and his fellow troops endure while on duty.
The woman added that she has advised her son to return home if he feels unable to continue under such circumstances.
Expressing deep frustration and pain, she also called on the Nigerian government to address the suffering soldiers are facing and prayed for divine justice over the situation.
She said:
