The Nigerian Army has reacted to a video in circulation showing a soldier complaining of lack of weapons as not a “true reflection of today’s reality.”
Brig.-Gen. Sani Usman, the Director of Army Public Relations, said that in the video, a “supposedly soldier clad with an AK-47 rifle alleged lack of arms and ammunition, among other soldiers in a remote location.”
“This is not true, as the video was recorded in 2014 and therefore cannot be a true reflection of the present reality.
“The public are please requested to discountenance the video clip,” Usman said.
