In a letter routed to President Muhammadu Buhari, the National Assembly, United Nations, African Union and a few different associations, the warriors communicated misery over their long remain in the unstable North-East area, uncovering that a large number of them had been pushed into a condition of discouragement because of the circumstance.
Furthermore, the warriors, a large portion of whom had taken part in activities in Liberia previously, unveiled that they are being abused by harsh bosses for individual and material increases.
As indicated by them, their families back home had been made to bear a wide range of enduring during the period they have served Nigeria with their lives in the war against Boko Haram fear based oppressors in the North-East.
The letter peruses, "We wish to bring to your notification that we have outstayed here in the North-East.
"We were accepted in this activity on July 10, 2016, to battle Boko Haram uprising in the wake of going through a year in Liberia.
"By and by, we are covering the accompanying areas of Dapchi, Bamari, and Kanama to Niger outskirts.
"This is our fourth year in the battlefront battling and we have not been transformed from this activity.
Different legions we accompanied and even those ones that came after us have all been pulled back. We are the most established infantry legion in the North-East yet they would prefer not to transform us.
"We have griped to the Chief of Army Staff and he vowed to pivot us. He even told our families something very similar yet till now nothing has been done or said about it.
"We are from 1 Battalion of the Nigerian Army in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State.
"On the off chance that the North-East resembled United Nations activity, a spot where there is cash, we would have been changed following a half year or at most one year and it would have been founded on godfatherism.
Be that as it may, we have been overlooked in light of the fact that we don't have the foggiest idea about any god-father.
"Since we have been here, this is the subsequent President, the subsequent Senate, the second CDS, the second COAS, the fifth Theater administrator, the fifth 7 Division GOC, the sixth Brigade Commander, the fourth Commanding Officer and the fifth Acting CO that we have worked under and none of them have had the sentiment of changing our contingent from this North-East.
"In the wake of bringing harmony, triumph, and respect to Nigeria, all we get back is enduring and dismissal.
"Since we resulted in these present circumstances activity; there have been no changes, no extraordinary advancement, no giving of regalia, boots, and battle units. Rather, we wind up getting it with our cash.
"There has been nothing more than a bad memory nourishing, in certainty we are encouraged like slaves.
"Officers of 159 Battalion are presently experiencing misery, stress, absence of the encouraging, poor administrator, family issues, mental injury.
"We are asking the President, the CDS and COAS to investigate our case in light of the fact that our homes have 'dissipated' and a portion of our kids don't have any acquaintance with us any longer.
"It is just multiple times that we have had spend in four years. Our youngsters presently consider us to be outsiders, a portion of our folks kicked the bucket of hypertension.
"We have lost a great deal. We need military specialists to transform us before it gets past the point of no return.
"Any Brigade Commander and Commanding Officer posted here just use us to profit for themselves and go.
"We are truly tired of this spot, we need to return to our unit and meet our families.
"To the senator and administrators from Yobe State, this is an admonition to all of you. Before long, your kin will begin fleeing from their homes since we are never again upbeat. We are prepared to leave the neighborhood government territories we are covering should assault come."
This isn't the first occasion when that military staff sent toward the North-East to battle Boko Haram fear-based oppressors would be grumbling of disregard and absence of hardware to do their obligations,
the humiliating circumstance has become a vital piece of the profound established defilement upsetting Nigeria's military setting throughout the years.
Even with these glaring obstacles and disappointment of the specialists to act, warriors have kept on following through on the incomparable cost in a war government keeps on furrowing more assets into yet have just little to appear for it as far as progress.
