Army General Who Lied Escapes Lynching By Hungry Soldiers by manuel80(m): 8:14pm On Dec 17, 2016
Victor Ezegwu, the General
Officer Commanding of the
Nigerian Army 7 Division in
Maimalari, escaped being
lynched by rampaging
Nigerian soldiers on
Friday morning, PREMIUM
TIMES can report.
Details of the attempted
assault on Mr. Ezegwu, a
major general, by troops
attached to ‘Operation Rescue
Finale’ in Sambisa Forest,
came a day after he denied
our report about a mutiny on
the battlefront.
The troops were enraged over
poor welfare arrangement
and alleged deceit by their
commanders, our sources
recounted.
Specifically, they accused the
commander of leaving them
to fight for two days without
food. The incident occurred
in Sambisa Forest on
Friday morning, as this
newspaper reported.
Most of the soldiers involved
in the mutiny were deployed
to Sambisa from 21 Brigade
in Bama, Borno State.
PREMIUM TIMES obtained
new details of the incident on
Saturday, that show that the
soldiers went from 9:00
a.m. on December 14 till 6:00
p.m. on December 15 — more
than 24 hours — without
food.
When Mr. Ezegwu eventually
arrived in a helicopter
bearing foods and other
supplies on Friday morning,
the troops swooped on him
and scavenged the snacks,
food and water he brought.
They removed all the
supplies, including parts for
operational vehicles and
other equipment, before
moving towards the GOC in
an attempt to attack him, our
sources said.
“The GOC escaped being
lynched because he was
immediately shoved into an
aircraft and whisked away
from the area,” a source said.
With their target having escaped, the
troops began sporadic firing, sources
said. They also rained curses on their
commander.
