The Defence Headquarters has yet to respond to a viral video in which a Nigerian soldier accused the military of abandoning injured personnel in hospitals across the country.
Papers News understands that the video, which is eight minutes and 14 seconds long, features an angry soldier speaking in Pidgin English, lamenting the plight of wounded troops who, according to him, have been left to cater for their medical treatment despite sustaining injuries while defending the nation.
In the footage, the soldier specifically mentioned the 44 Nigerian Army Reference Hospital in Kaduna and the 7 Division Medical Services and Hospital in Maiduguri, where he claimed numerous wounded soldiers had been left without proper medical attention.
