Soldiers pushing a faulty armoured personnel carrier
A video has surfaced showing Nigerian soldiers pushing an apparently faulty armoured personnel carrier (APC) in the north east fighting Boko Haram.
In the video, the soldiers were heard saying “they are pushing APC by number. Nigerian army, there is problem.”
An APC is a combat vehicle designed with arms and equipped to transport squad of soldiers.
This is coming as soldiers have endlessly complained that they lack the necessary equipment to help their fight against the insurgents.
Reacting to the news, a soldier complained to TheCable saying: “Most of the APCs are with faulty engines.
“The APC mainly has two engines, one to power the barrels and the other the wheels. But when one is faulty, we put all the loads on the one functioning and if you advance for five minutes it starts to overheat.”
