A Nigerian soldier, identified as Lance Corporal Rotimi Olamilekan, has been arrested and detained after a viral video surfaced in which he called on politicians, including governors, senators, and members of the House of Representatives, to have their children join the Nigerian Army to combat terrorists and armed bandits.

The Nigerian Army reportedly viewed his message as inappropriate for a serving military member and took disciplinary action, emphasizing the importance of military discipline and civilian-military protocol.

This incident comes amid ongoing security challenges in Nigeria’s North-East and North-West region, where groups like Boko Haram and armed gangs continue to pose serious threats.
