According to information obtained, the troops were sent to 403 Amphibious Brigade in Baga village, Borno State, from a variety of units and formations.

According to a military statement issued by Major HO Akoh on behalf of the commander of the 403 Amphibious Brigade, the sought soldiers were supposed to report to the unit by October 31, 2024, at the latest, but they haven’t shown up for a month.

According to the Army officials’ statement, which SaharaReporters was able to get, the impacted personnel’s bank accounts have been blocked and they would face severe repercussions if they were discovered.

Additionally, different army groups have been alerted to promptly capture and transport any soldiers discovered inside their jurisdictions.

“Reference A promulgated the posting of the above named SNCO and 42 others from unit indicated against their name at Annex A to this formation,” the notification dated November 1 stated. To prevent AWOL action against them, Reference B asked for their release so they could report for military duty.

Additionally, Reference C reminded them in their original release request to report by October 31 at the latest, but they have yet to do so. I humbly ask that you declare them on AWOL WEF 1 NOV 24 in light of the aforementioned.

“I would also like you to notify NAIC and NACMP to arrest them if they are spotted and take them under military escort for disciplinary action, while HQ NAFC freezes their salary account in accordance with that. The list of soldiers assigned to the 403 Amphibious Brigade (Rear) may be found in Annex A.
