Five soldiers attached to 176 Brigade Command, Abuja have been dismissed from service by the Nigerian Army for exporting money from members of the public.
The Guards Brigade Commander, Brigadier General M.S. Yusuf disclosed this to newsmen on Tuesday during an interactive session in his office.
“I want to inform you that five soldiers attached to the 176 Brigade Command in Gwagwalada, Abuja, were dismissed recently for collecting money from members of the public.
“This has become necessary because we want the best from our soldiers, and this can only be achieved if we have good understanding with other citizens of Nigeria, as it would help in bridging the gap between us and the civilians.
”The entitlements of all the soldiers on guard in the various formations in the country, are always paid upfront before they are deployed and based on this, we would not tolerate anyone of them collecting any gratification whatsoever from people. We do everything possible to make them conducive at their place of primary assignments,” he said.
He urged the National Orientation Agency to educate the public on how to relate with the military.
