Aljazeerah,
last night, shared a video on its Facebook page where a man who claimed to be a
Nigerian soldier shared photos of soldiers attached to the 3rd armored division
training in ‘bathroom slippers’,’ colored dress’ and without uniforms at the
Nigerian Army Training Center in Katangura, Niger state.
The soldier who shared the photos, claimed to be one of the reinstated soldiers who was fired before for refusing to fight Boko Haram however, refused to reveal his identity for fear of being sacked or court-marshaled.
He accused the military hierarchy of stealing the budget of the military
"I beleive the government released the money but it is unfortunate that some people have decided that that is the only way of making their million"he said

"How can someone be
training with his bathroom slippers? How could someone be training in his
ordinary clothes? None of us having rifle. None of us having uniform. Majority
of soldiers are hungry"he said....

However
the Chief of rmy staff, Lt. Gen Tukur Buratai says soldiers do not necessarily
have to always train in their uniforms.
"You dont have to
always train in your uniform. The ethics is been dispatched to their units for
them to be relocated and to be rearmed"he said
The
soldier also said that the homes where their wives and children stay lack
electricity, good toilet facility or running water.
