Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, reacting to a video in which someone displayed a poor portion of semo individual while complaining that the soldiers were being served with poor meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The statement said the Army authorities had investigated the matter and found it to be untrue. He also said the man in the video was found not to be a military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said, \u201cThe Nigerian Army has taken note of a viral video on social media alleging that soldiers of 159 Battalion in Kanama, Geidam Local Government, are being poorly fed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSequel to the viral video, the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, ordered an investigation headed by the Commander Sector 2 Operation HADIN KAI to ascertain the veracity of the claim to address any problem of poor feeding in the unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFollowing the findings of the investigation, it is crucial to clarify that the video in question was not created by soldiers of 159 Battalion, but was rather recorded by a police officer stationed with the troops deployed in Geidam. Contrary to the claim made in the video, no personnel in that location was served substandard meals as shown in the video. \u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Christopher Musa, Chief of Defence Staff The Nigerian Army has denied the allegation that the soldiers of the 159 Battalion in Kanama, Geidam Local Government Area, Yobe, are being&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2469","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pages"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Soldiers not fed poorly - Army -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/psmnigeria.org\/?p=2469\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Soldiers not fed poorly - Army -\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"General Christopher Musa, Chief of Defence Staff The Nigerian Army has denied the allegation that the soldiers of the 159 Battalion in Kanama, Geidam Local Government Area, Yobe, are being&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/psmnigeria.org\/?p=2469\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-08-02T06:35:40+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-08-02T06:40:20+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/psmnigeria.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/download-40.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"229\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"220\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Isiaka Mustapha\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Isiaka Mustapha\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/psmnigeria.org\\\/?p=2469#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/psmnigeria.org\\\/?p=2469\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Isiaka Mustapha\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/psmnigeria.org\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/133898c85d4c5ad38731c7211e8a2560\"},\"headline\":\"Soldiers not fed poorly &#8211;
