Chief of Army Staff Lt. Gen. Buratai visits wounded soldiers
However, Col Ezundu idimah, Deputy Director, Army Public Relations of the 1 Division in Kaduna, dismissed the claims as lies, saying the soldiers are well catered for.
A soldier, who was paralysed from the waist down by an insurgent’s bullet in the North-East, said he had not received any disability compensation, but his salaries have been promptly paid.
Now confined to a wheelchair, the soldier said his dream and that of his family had been shattered as his expectations in life may no longer be met.
Though he is recovering, he still suffers from severe pains.
