A Nigerian soldier has been taken into custody on the orders of the Chief of Army Staff. According to this news report:
The soldier made a video condemning the security chiefs of the country, especially [Lt. Gen. Tukur] Buratai and the Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin, for the incessant killings of Nigerians by Boko Haram and another armed group.Might there be a command influence issue when the arrest is ordered by the victim who happens to head the Army?
He was arrested in Sokoto a few hours after releasing the video and moved to the Federal Capital Territory where he is currently being detained.
Following his arrest, Nigerians have asked the military leadership to immediately release the soldier while they address the issues he raised in the video.
They also condemned the security chiefs for not making strong moves to stop the incessant killings of Nigerians by the Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in the country.
