ABUJA, NIGERIA - As insurgents fired rockets into a busy marketplace in
Nigeria's northeast Saturday, killing as many as 31 people, the military's
control and composure in the volatile region continued to unspool.
.
The army has spent recent days trying to defuse a budding mutiny in its
ranks; it relocated a general after soldiers revolted and fired on their
superior inside the barracks.
.
The rebellious soldiers, already angry that they don't have the necessary
equipment to fight Boko Haram militants, blamed the general for unpopular
orders that led to troops being ambushed and killed, a source close to the
situation told the Star.
.
One squadron was ambushed while returning from Chibok, an isolated town
where Boko Haram - Islamist extremists whose name means "Western education
is sin" - kidnapped more than 300 schoolgirls a month ago.
.
"It was already dark. They wanted to spend the night in a friendly village
but the general insisted they return that night," said the source, an
official stationed with the Nigerian police's counter-terrorism squad in
Maiduguri, where the soldiers revolted.
The so
.
ldiers obeyed and their convoy was attacked. The troops were in
non-armoured vehicles, the official said.
.
When Major-General Ahmed Mohammed learned soldiers died in the ambush, "he
showed no concern," said the source, who asked not to be named for fear of
being punished by his employer.
.
The bodies of the soldiers were ferried through the cantonment on their
way to the morgue. Seeing their dead brethren, soldiers became enraged and
fired at the general's vehicle.
.
The general was not injured but has been redeployed. A military
spokesperson said the army would discipline the unruly soldiers,
emphasizing the tumult would not affect the ongoing war against Boko
Haram.
