To avoid being deployed to the Boko
Haram infested zones in the North, some soldiers and officers are inventing
pranks which involves faking strange ailments and shooting themselves.
A military source who made the
revelation to Tribune newspaper, disclosed that seven soldiers opened fire on
different parts of their bodies and later claimed that Boko Haram terrorists
shot them, to avoid deployment.
The act was carefully masterminded
by the troops, so as to look as if the Boko Haram, terrorists actually attacked
them.
However, when medical examination
was carried out on them, it was discovered that the shots were self-inflicted.
