Nigerian Army Denies Twenty-Five Officers Resigned Over Corruption

The Nigerian Army has denied reports that twenty-five soldiers resigned because of poor welfare and corruption.

Recall that an online publication had reported that twenty-five soldiers manning war vehicles in the Nigerian Army Armoured Corps resigned to protest corruption and poor welfare conditions.

But the Army in a statement on Thursday by its spokesperson, Onyema Nwachukwu, said the soldiers resigned voluntarily, stressing that retirement in the service is routine.
