Quote:[b]Lance Corporal Martins Arrested After Calling Out Buratai, Service Chiefs
Nigerian Soldier Arrested After Making Video Saying Buratai, Service Chiefs Have Failed Nigerians | Sahara Reporters[/b]
A soldier of the Nigerian Army, Lance Corporal Martins, has been arrested after making a video blasting the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai, and other security chiefs in the country.
The soldier was arrested on the orders of Buratai, sources revealed to SaharaReporters.
According to the source, the soldier was picked by senior military officers, who said they were acting based on an "order from above".
In the 12-minute video, the soldier expressed his anger at the security chiefs especially Buratai, and Chief of Defence Staff, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin, for not being committed to end the incessant killings of Nigerians by terrorists and armed bandits.

He revealed how the military ordered the illegal detention of some soldiers, who demanded better weapons and ammunition to combat Boko Haram and other terrorist groups in the country.
He stated that though he might be arrested and probably killed for the video, he is ready to sacrifice himself for the country.

Quote:Victoria, Wife Of Lance Corporal Martins Arrested For Granting Media Interview
Mrs Victoria, wife of Lance Corporal Martins, has been arrested for granting a media interview over her husband's arrest, Sahara Reporters has discovered.
In a viral video published by SaharaReporters, Lance Corporal Martins complained about the inadequate measures employed by the army in combating Boko Harm.

He blamed the Chief of Army Staff, Maj. Gen Tukur Buratai, for the failings of millitary personnel in crushing Boko Haram.
Lance Corporal Martins was later arrested and transfered to the Army Headquarters in Abuja.
Speaking with SaharaReporters on Wednesday, Mrs Victoria said fending for her three children has been her major worry since her husband's arrest.
She said, "A day before he posted the video, he called me to ask for recharge card to buy data but I didn't send it him because he already told me that he wanted to post a video about the problems they are facing in the army.
"He told me to prepare for the worst. So, I didn't send him the data because I don't want him to get into trouble by uploading the video on social media."
The woman said she asked her husband how they will manage their family if he was sanctioned and things go worst.
She said, "I asked him where do we start as a family. But he said I should man up, that I've been the one taking care of the family before now."
Mrs Victoria said her husband was one, who will not refrain from speaking the truth because of fear or favour.
"Day before yesterday, he was on off and he resumed duty yesterday.
"He made a video call with the children after he resumed at the office.
"Not up to 30 minutes later, he called that they've arrested him and they are taking him to the guard room. He said if you hear from me, fine, if you don't hear from me, fine.
"My husband's main issue/complaint is that there is no ammunition to fight in the North-East, no ammunition, if you complain it's a problem.
"They don't pay them well. Navy get more pay, army don't get all their allowances that should be given to them
"I can't hear from him, they've collected his phone and his colleagues don't want to release information about him."
