EXCLUSIVE: How Nigerian Soldiers Abandoned Yashikira In Kwara During Terrorists Attack, Relocated To Checkpoint To Extort N100 From Motorists

In Kwara, Nigerian soldiers reportedly abandoned the village of Yashikira during a terrorist attack, relocating instead to a checkpoint where they extorted N100 from motorists, claiming their original position was under threat—a claim locals say was false and a ruse to avoid combat. This incident highlights the severe lapses in military duty and accountability, raising questions about the effectiveness and integrity of Nigeria's security forces amid ongoing insurgency issues. Such actions not only endanger local communities but also erode public trust in the military's commitment to protecting citizens.
