The Nigerian Army has confirmed the dismissal of a soldier serving under Operation Hadin Kai following disciplinary action over allegations that he circulated false information regarding the welfare and feeding of troops deployed in the North-East.
According to official military communication from the Theatre Command of Operation Hadin Kai, the soldier was found to have shared content on social media suggesting that personnel in the theatre were experiencing poor feeding conditions. The Army stated that the claims were investigated and determined to be misleading.
Operation Hadin Kai, which is responsible for counter-insurgency operations in Borno, Yobe, and parts of Adamawa States, said the action taken against the soldier was in line with military disciplinary procedures governing conduct and information management within the armed forces.
The Army explained that serving personnel are prohibited from publicly disseminating operational or welfare-related information without authorization. It noted that such restrictions are in place to maintain operational security, discipline, and public confidence in military operations.
Military authorities emphasized that troop welfare, including feeding, accommodation, and logistics support, remains a key priority in ongoing operations in the North-East. They stated that established supply chains and support systems are in place to sustain deployed personnel engaged in counter-terrorism activities.
The statement further noted that the dissemination of unverified or unauthorized information by personnel is considered a breach of military regulations and is subject to disciplinary measures under the Armed Forces Act.
Operation Hadin Kai has been conducting sustained operations against insurgent groups in the region, involving coordinated ground and air missions aimed at degrading terrorist capabilities and restoring stability to affected communities.
The Army reiterated its commitment to maintaining discipline within its ranks and ensuring that all personnel adhere strictly to professional codes of conduct. It warned that violations of communication protocols, especially those involving operational matters, would attract sanctions.
No additional details were provided regarding the identity of the dismissed soldier or the specific platform through which the alleged information was circulated.
The military also urged the public to rely on official communication channels for accurate information regarding ongoing operations and troop welfare.
