However, in an obvious celebration of Buratai’s sack, some soldiers in their various formations across the country danced, fire gun shots into the air and did push ups. TNG observed that the soldiers in the video were in a light and refreshing mood.
TNG recalled that while Buratai was in office as Chief of Army Staff, on several occasions videos of soldiers in battle front against the deadly Boko Haram sects surfaced online. The low morale troops complained of poor welfare and inferior weapons against the enemy.
