A mother of a Nigerian soldier has slammed the Nigerian government for leaving her son and other soldiers unattended in the bush while they fight insurgents.

In a heartbreaking video, the elderly woman revealed that she is the widow of a soldier who served in the Nigerian Army for 36 years.

She stated that in all of the years her husband served, he had never witnessed the suffering that her son, who has also joined the Army, is currently experiencing. She stated that her son calls her to complain about the suffering he and other soldiers are experiencing in the bush. She said she has asked her son to return home if he is unable to continue.

She went on to curse the Nigerian government and asked God to avenge the suffering they expose her son and other soldiers to.

Oh God of revengeance, revenge for our children. Revenge!  I am speaking all of this with heartbreak. God of revengeance, where are you? Please Arise! ‘’

In her words

‘’Please leaders of Nigeria.Our children are in the bush. I have told my son if you can no longer continue, come back home. God will feed us. My husband did soldier work for 36 years, they never encountered this thing but small small children are suffering in the hush., You are taking our children to make money. Nigerian leaders, it will never be well with you people. It will never be well with you people. I have told my son, if you cannot continue, come back home. It is not by force. Nigerian leaders and government. Please do something bout our children in the bush. Please, I am an old soldier’s wife. My son joined the Army and he is crying. Please Nigeria, we are begging you people not to leave us. Please don’t leave our children to d!e everyday. They are suffering in the bush!
