In a
desperate bid to avoid being deployed to the troubled North-East,
Nigerian soldiers are now inflicting harm on themselves, reports say.
Seven
soldiers are said to have shot themselves at the weekend claiming that they had
been attacked by Boko Haram terrorists but a medical examination in an Adamawa
hospital showed that their injuries were self-inflicted.
Other
soldiers also pretended to have various strange ailments in a bid to avoid
being sent to war, Tribune reports.
Some of
those involved have been arrested while a board of inquiry has reportedly been
set up to investigate the allegations.
