One of the 54 soldiers sentenced to death by
a Nigerian Army court martial for mutiny and
conspiracy to commit mutiny has taken to
the social media to express his frustration
with Nigeria.
The soldier, who bears the name Fahat
Fahat, posted on his Facebook page on
Friday that all the soldiers asked for were
better weapons that will help them defeat
Boko Haram rather than be killed.
The Nigerian soldier, who has now been
condemned to death, posted in a chilling
message that gives a firsthand insight into
the likely state of mind of the soldiers:
“Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am soldier
and I am sentence to death by the Nigeria
army (sic) (be)cause we did not go to fight
Boko Haram without equipment. We ask for
weapon instead dem gave death sentence
(sic).”
Fahat’s wall showed different pictures and
posts of an excited soldier. In one post, he
said, “I am a commando trooper, Jumper
Canta Force Galopa Amphibios (sic). Above I
am a gorilla, the king of the jungle. I am
trained to kill the wicked. I am proud to be a
killer. We do good things to good people
and bad things to bad people.
One man one bullet, sometimes, one man,
one magazine.”
But the tone of his messages seemed to
change from October 2014.
In a cryptic message on November 24, 2014,
Fahal posted in caps, “I am sick and tayerd
with dis f*rking alpha romeo mike yankee
seriousely (sic)” Meaning: I am sick and
tired of this f****** Army seriously.
Another soldier, Fredrick Ayonronmi, who is
Fahat’s friend but not one of the convicted
soldiers, also took to Facebook to express
happiness after an operation.
“Lord, thank you for my life, because I am a
survivor of Boko Haram attack in Vimtim
Forest. After five days in the bush, Lord I
praise you,” his post read.
But when will all the necessary weapons
needed by our boys to defeat Boko Haram
get to them?
