We wanted weapons they gave us death sentence,Nigerian soldier cries out.

One of the 54 soldiers sentenced to death by a
Nigerian Army court martial for mutiny and
conspiracy to commit mutiny has taken to the
social media to express his frustration with
Nigeria.
The soldier, who bears the name Fahat Fahat,
posted on his Facebook page on Friday that all
the soldiers asked for were better weapons that
will help them defeat Boko Haram rather than
be killed.
The Nigerian soldier, who has now been
condemned to death, posted in a chilling
message that gives a firsthand insight into the
likely state of mind of the soldiers:
“Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am soldier
and I am sentence to death by the Nigeria
army (sic) (be)cause we did not go to
fight Boko Haram without equipment . We
ask for weapon instead dem gave death
sentence (sic).”
Fahat’s wall showed different pictures and
posts of an excited soldier. In one post, he said,
“I am a commando trooper, Jumper Canta
Force Galopa Amphibios (sic). Above I am a
gorilla, the king of the jungle. I am trained to
kill the wicked. I am proud to be a killer. We do
good things to good people and bad things to
bad people. One man one bullet, sometimes,
one man, one magazine.”
But the tone of his messages seemed to
change from October 2014.
In a cryptic message on November 24, 2014,
Fahal posted in caps, “I am sick and tayerd with
dis f*rking alpha romeo mike yankee seriousely
(sic)” Meaning: I am sick and tired of this
f** Army seriously.
Another soldier, Fredrick Ayonronmi, who is
Fahat’s friend but not one of the convicted
soldiers, also took to Facebook to express
happiness after an operation.
“Lord, thank you for my life, because I am a
survivor of Boko Haram attack in Vimtim
Forest. After five days in the bush, Lord I praise
you,” his post read.
But when will all the necessary weapons
needed by our boys to defeat Boko Haram get
to them?
