Federal Govt Set To Deploy 157 Soldiers For Peacekeeping In South Sudan

The Nigerian Army is set to deploy 157 officers and soldiers for a peacekeeping mission in Abiye, South Sudan.

The Army authority, however, warned them to avoid acts like sexual exploitation and drug trafficking, capable of bringing Nigeria to shame.

Nigerian Army’s Chief of Operation, Major-General Boniface Sinjen, gave the warning while addressing the troops at the graduation ceremony from their pre-deployment training at the Martin Luther Agwai International Leadership and Peacekeeping Centre (MLAILPKC), Jaji, Kaduna state.

The troops, who are of the Nigerian Company 2 to the United Nations Interim Security Force in Abyei (NIGCOY 2 UNISFA), consisted of 15 officers and 142 soldiers.
