A video has surfaced
showing Nigerian soldiers pushing an apparently faulty armoured personnel
carrier (APC) in the north east fighting Boko Haram.
In the video, the soldiers
were heard saying “they are pushing APC by number. Nigerian army, there is
problem.”
An APC is a combat vehicle
designed with arms and equipped to transport squad of soldiers.
This is coming as soldiers
have endlessly complained that they lack the necessary equipment to help their
fight against the insurgents.
Reacting to the news, a
soldier complained to TheCable saying: “Most of the APCs are with faulty
engines.
“The APC mainly has two
engines, one to power the barrels and the other the wheels. But when one is
faulty, we put all the loads on the one functioning and if you advance for five
minutes it starts to overheat.”
