The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has firmly dismissed claims circulating on social media suggesting that members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) wounded in action are neglected, insisting that the welfare of troops remains a core moral obligation and institutional priority.
Reacting to a viral video that alleged lack of care and official indifference toward injured soldiers, the DHQ said the claims were misleading and failed to reflect the realities of the military’s extensive welfare and medical support framework.
