One of the 54 soldiers sentenced to
death by a Nigerian Army court martial for mutiny and conspiracy to
commit mutiny has taken to the social media to express his frustration.
The soldier, who bears the name Fahat
Fahat, posted on his Facebook page on Friday that all the soldiers asked
for were better weapons.
“Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am
soldier and I am sentence to death by the Nigeria army (sic) (be)cause
we did not go to fight Boko Haram without equipment. We ask for weapon
instead dem gave death sentence (sic),” he posted in a chilling message
that gives a firsthand insight into the likely
state of mind of the
soldiers.
Fahat’s
wall showed different pictures and posts of an excited soldier. In one
post, he said, “I am a commando trooper, Jumper Canta Force Galopa
Amphibios (sic). Above I am a gorilla, the king of the jungle. I am
trained to kill the wicked. I am proud to be a killer. We do good things
to good people and bad things to bad people. One man one bullet,
sometimes, one man, one magazine.”
But the tone of his messages seemed to change from October 2014.
In a cryptic message on November 24,
2014, Fahal posted in caps, “I am sick and tayerd with dis forking alpha
romeo mike yankee seriousely (sic)” Meaning: I am sick and tired of
this f****** Army seriously.
