A retired Nigerian policeman has issued a startling threat, claiming he will join the insurgent group Boko Haram and assist in training its members if his unpaid pension is not addressed.
In his statement, he expressed frustration over the government’s failure to settle his pension, which he believes has been long overdue.
“If nothing is done about our pension, I’ll go to the other side and I’ll join B0k0 boys, I’ll be helping them to fix their gvns and training them,” the retired officer said.
His statement underscores the growing discontent among retired officers who have struggled with pension-related issues for years. While the statement may be seen as a sign of deep frustration, it also highlights the broader concerns around the welfare of retired security personnel in Nigeria.
It remains unclear how the government will respond to such serious claims, though it brings attention to the ongoing pension crises facing many retirees in the country.
The retired policeman’s remarks have sparked widespread concern, with many questioning the government’s commitment to the welfare of its retired personnel, especially in the face of mounting economic challenges.
