Angry wives of some Nigerian soldiers blocked entrance to the
Giwa Barracks, at the 7 Division, in Maiduguri, owing not to allow their
husbands proceed to Bama as directed by the GOC, General Mohammed Ibrahim.
Meanwhile the enraged
women got wind that their husbands had been directed to proceed to Bama, about
70km from Maiduguri, the capital of the troubled northeastern state of Borno.
On sighting the soldiers, who were assembling their weapons,
the women came out in their numbers, insisting that their husbands would not
abandon them in the barracks to be killed by Boko Haram, the way some of their
friends were killed early this year.
The women, who were said to have remained at the gate till
5pm local time, refused all entreaties by Senior military officials.
They vowed to sleep in the place until the General Officer
Commanding the 7th division reversed his directive.
