THE Nigerian Army has asked its personnel dissatisfied with its operations to voluntarily quit the service if they so wish.
The Army said the statement was necessitated by what it called “ a campaign of calumny on social media platforms by some individuals or group of persons bordering on payment of troops operations allowances, rotation in the North East and comparing troops’ pay to what obtains in neighbouring countries.”
In a statement through its spokesman, Brigadier General Sani Usman, the Army, which said it would launch investigation into the development, noted that the “fabricators are most probably being sponsored by the categories of people that frustrated themselves out of the Army and political self-defeatists.”
“They are clearly sentimental and lack knowledge of the Nigerian Army of today.
“Any soldier who is not satisfied with the professional drive of the Nigerian Army and that of the government can do himself a world of good by voluntarily discharging from the Nigerian Army, “the statement quoted the Nigerian Army as saying.
The full statement read in part :” The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a campaign of calumny on social media platforms by some individuals or group of persons.
“The faceless persons have been making spurious and unfounded allegations bordering on payment of troops operations allowances, rotation in the North East and comparing troops’ pay to what obtains in neighbouring countries.
“The fabricators are most probably being sponsored by the categories of people that frustrated themselves out of the Army and political self-defeatists.
“They are clearly sentimental and lack knowledge of the Nigerian Army of today.”
