According to a Nigerian
soldier who spoke with journalists, military troops including those
fighting boko haram insurgency in the north east, say they have not been
paid their peace keeping and daily operational allowances for six
months.
According to the army officer, some 200 soldiers of the
158 Task Force Battalion, fought in the AU peace keeping operation in
Guinea Bissau in 2015, but are being owed six months allowances.
"We fought in Guinea Bissau between 2014 and 2015; they promised to pay our allowances immediately we arrived in Nigeria.
"When
we returned, they promised to pay us before the end of the training.
Soon after the training, we were posted to fight in Yobe and Borno and
nobody is talking about our allowances anymore,"
