These soldiers, assigned to the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) combating Boko Haram insurgents, face disciplinary actions due to their absence.

As part of the measures taken, the military has frozen the bank accounts of these soldiers and issued alerts to other army formations nationwide, urging that any of the AWOL soldiers be detained if found.

A military signal, dated November 1 and signed by Major HO Akoh on behalf of the 403 Amphibious Brigade Commander, also directs any personnel with information about the missing soldiers’ locations to notify the authorities promptly.
