According to some of the soldiers who spoke to SaharaReporters, the military personnel are also affected by hardship and the bad economy.
They claimed the current government of Bola Tinubu and previous ones had impoverished those of them in the lower cadre.
The soldiers noted that to meet their basic financial needs, they have to sell their cars, televisions, housing properties and others.
“We soldiers here in Borno are in full support of this protest due to the hardship in the country, everything has now gone up in prices. Our salaries can no longer sustain these current prices right now, we need urgent intervention.
If not, things will gradually go out of control, many soldiers cannot longer pay for their children NECO, WAEC fees not even talk of university or higher institutions fees,” one of the soldiers told SaharaReporters.
