Nigerian Army Refutes Mutiny Allegations, Reaffirms Commitment to Troop Welfare Odimmegwa Johnpeter/Abuja The Nigerian Army has dismissed reports alleging that soldiers are threatening mutiny over salaries and allowances, describing the claims as false and misleading. The Army’s response was contained in a statement signed by the Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Colonel Appolonia Anele. Anele said there has been no instance of mutiny or threat of mutiny within the Nigerian Army, noting that such conduct is contrary to military law, discipline, and professionalism. She stated that officers and soldiers remain loyal to the Constitution and to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. The Army spokesperson criticised the report for relying on anonymous and unverifiable claims circulated through unofficial channels. According to her, Nigerian Army personnel are trained to channel grievances through established military procedures rather than public platforms. Clarifying remuneration concerns, Anele explained that promotion increments are only one element of military pay and do not represent total earnings. She said military remuneration includes consolidated salaries, operational, field, and hardship allowances, as well as other entitlements based on deployment and responsibility. Anele noted that the Army, in collaboration with relevant authorities, continues to implement welfare reforms, including salary reviews, improved accommodation, medical care, and insurance for personnel. She added that the Chief of Army Staff has initiated engagements on troop welfare since assuming office, with encouraging outcomes. The Army urged the public to disregard unfounded reports and rely on official communication for accurate information on the Armed Forces. END
