They have been removed from their base camp in Mubi, Adamawa State since October 28, 2014.
The soldiers said they fought chivalrously, with all their efforts, but concerning to the high strength of terrorists they were overwhelmed and recorded many casualties finally leading to the depletion of their own arms.

After the loss of the 35th Artillery Brigade, the army officials disarmed and moved them to Maxwell Khobe Cantonment, 3 DIV of the Nigerian Military in Jos for further probe.

The soldiers said that they were not given a fair legal proceeding. Lt. Gen Kenneth Minimal, the Chief of Army Staff, was cited to have said that all the dislodged soldiers should be dismissed without obtaining any chance to express themselves.

Brig Gen LM Bello, the Commander of the 34th Artillery Brigade, was said to have set the date of dismissal for the soldiers for May 28, Thursday, a day before the inauguration of the new administration.

“We weren’t given an opportunity to defend ourselves. I’ve spent 20 years in the service of the Nigerian army, I’ve never been accused of any offence,” said the soldier, who did not want to be named.

Many of the dismissals are thought to be connected to the fall of Mubi, the second largest town in Adamawa state.
