An ex-soldier has raised alarm about corruption among the Nigeria military generals, revealing how soldiers’ money is being misused while generals live in luxury.
In a recent interview with Lucky Udu, she explained that these days, high-ranking officers are buying entire estates across the city.
“You see this estate belongs to this person in Abuja, that estate belongs to this general. When I joined the army in 1993, it was rare to see a general build such huge mansions, she said.”
According to her, the lavish lifestyles of some generals are made possible by misappropriating security funds and soldiers’ money.
“Is it his salary he is using to acquire those houses? No. It is the soldiers’ money and security funds they are taking. That money should have been paid to soldiers who are risking their lives and sometimes dying,” she added.
She described the human cost of this corruption, saying some soldiers die without their families knowing, and their money is taken.
In one particular case, she revealed that the wife did not know her husband had passed away. The family had to be located just to pay the money supernatural forces, and they did not even know he had died.
Many Nigerians have expressed outrage at the abuse of power and the lack of accountability. A commentator wrote, “It is heartbreaking to see soldiers’ money being stolen while their families suffer.” Another said, “This shows why transparency and reforms in the military are long overdue.”
She concluded with a call for change. “They need to change.” Her words serve as a stark reminder of the urgent need to reform the system and ensure that soldiers and their families are protected.

At least 32 Nigerians have been deported from India following an extensive police operation targeting a suspected transnational drug trafficking network.
The deportations come weeks after a major coordinated raid conducted by Delhi Police and the Telangana Police EAGLE unit, which led to the arrest of 50 Nigerians allegedly tied to a wide-reaching narcotics syndicate.
Crackdown uncovers large drug and laundering ring
Investigators said the group operated a broad drug distribution and hawala-laundering network spanning several major Indian cities, according to local media reports.
The syndicate allegedly moved drugs from Delhi, disguising the shipments as regular courier packages to evade detection by security agencies.
Officials revealed that the arrested foreigners were working for a Nigerian kingpin identified as Nick, who is wanted in several cases filed by the EAGLE unit.
A senior official disclosed that Nick is believed to be coordinating operations from Nigeria, with an estimated 100 associates operating in Delhi alone.
Devices expose thousands of clients
“Analysis of the peddlers’ devices showed the network serves over 3,000 clients across India, based on payments traced. In one case, a publisher laundered 20 lakh to Nigeria in collusion with the peddlers, and others collaborated with businesses in footwear and apparel,” the official said.
Deportations and ongoing investigations
Of the 50 suspects arrested, 32 Nigerians were recently deported.
Seven individuals from whom drugs were recovered will face criminal prosecution in India.
Authorities added that the remaining suspects may also be deported as investigations widen to identify individuals and companies involved in laundering funds for the syndicate.
Laleye Dipo in Minna
Minna, the capital of Niger State, has been hit by acute water scarcity, forcing residents to search for water for domestic and other uses from any available source.
The scarcity, which started about a month ago, has become so serious that water vendors popularly known as (Mairuwa) sell a truck load of ten 25-liter Jerry cans between N1,500 and N2,000, depending on the location of the community where it is being sold.
The situation has also been compounded by the cessation of the rain, which has made most wells dry up.
The development has resulted in Muslims now buying sachet water to perform ablution before their regular prayers, either in the mosques or at home.
Meanwhile, officials of the state Water and Sanitation Board and those of the government have kept mum on the cause of the scarcity.
However, THISDAY’s investigation has shown that the problem started when the state government directed that the water treatment plant should be metered, a development that resulted in about N6 million credit being bought from the AEDC to power the engines and supply water to the people every three days.
According to the findings, the situation became complicated when some machines packed up and were said to require about N83million to fix them.
The government, according to findings, directed the Board to source the amount from its internally generated revenue (IGR), which officials of the Board claimed they could not raise because consumers have failed to pay water bills as a result of its epileptic supply to their homes.
A senior official in the state Ministry of Primary Health, who spoke on condition of anonymity, expressed fear about an outbreak of an epidemic as a result of people consuming water from doubtful sources.
He reminded the government that water pollution and consumption of unhygienic water resulted in the outbreak of cholera in August this year, which affected 12 local government areas of the state resulting in the death of not less than 16 people.

Former Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, Jumoke Akindele, has praised Governor Lucky Aiyedatiwa for reactivating the long-abandoned Owena Multipurpose Dam and the Akure Water Supply and Sanitation Project.
Governor Aiyedatiwa had, on Tuesday, performed the groundbreaking ceremony to officially kick-start construction work on both projects.
The Owena Multipurpose Dam, funded through donor agencies, the Federal Government and the Ondo State Government was first initiated during the administration of the late Dr. Olusegun Agagu (2003–2009). Despite its importance, the project suffered years of neglect by successive administrations.
In her statement, Akindele said the governor deserved recognition for reviving a water scheme critical to the state’s development.
“I must commend the governor for his numerous developmental initiatives, especially his urban renewal projects,” she said.
“Akure is now wearing a new look. I have traveled to the Southern Senatorial District, I live in the Central District, and I have also visited the Northern Senatorial District. Everywhere is taking a new shape.
“I am most impressed that Mr. Governor has been thoughtful in reviving the Owena Multipurpose Dam Project. It is truly commendable.”

Federal lawmakers from Edo State have firmly rejected calls for the creation of a proposed Toru-Be State from Ovia and Ikpoba-Okha Local Government Areas of Edo State.
The lawmakers described the affected communities as foundational to the Benin Kingdom, carrying deep ancestral, historical and cultural significance for the Edo people.
The communities listed include Ughoton, Siluko, Aghamioba, Udo (Okomu), Ekewan, Ikoro, Obazuwa, Ologbo and the surrounding riverine settlements.
Their position was contained in a motion sponsored by Omosede Gabriella Igbinedion and supported by L. Eseosa Iyawe, Murphy Osaro Omoruyi and Billy Osawaru.
Igbinedion stressed that the Benin Kingdom, over 1,200 years old remains one of Africa’s most sophisticated pre-colonial civilisations, globally respected for its advanced political systems, urban organisation, military strength and the world-famous Benin Bronzes that continue to define Nigeria’s cultural heritage.
She warned that any attempt to cede historically significant Edo land poses a threat to the territorial integrity of the state and violates the cultural and ancestral rights of the Edo people, adding that such an action could trigger unrest and undermine national unity.
Condemning the proposal to carve out parts of Edo for the creation of Toru-Be State, Igbinedion stated that no individual, political caucus or regional group has the authority to offer any portion of Edo land without the consent of its people and due constitutional process.
She urged the Federal Government, particularly the President, Senate President and Speaker of the House of Representatives to reject any recommendation that includes Edo territory in the proposed new state.
She further called on stakeholders in the South-South region to refrain from actions capable of threatening unity and the historical integrity of existing states.
According to the motion, the House should mandate its Committees on Constitutional Review, Intergovernmental Affairs and State Creation to investigate the matter, uphold state boundaries and engage stakeholders to ensure transparency and equity in any future discussions on state creation.
Igbinedion reaffirmed that the people of Edo State remain committed to defending their land, heritage and identity, declaring: “Edo land is not up for negotiation, and Edo State will not cede an inch.”

Tragedy struck in the early hours of Thursday, December 11, 2025, when at least eight students of the University of Jos, UNIJOS, Plateau State, were killed after a trailer lost control and collided with a bus conveying them from a night outing on Zaria Road in the Jos metropolis.
According to eyewitnesses, in addition to the eight students who died on the spot, the bus driver also lost his life, while two students who survived the accident were rushed to a nearby hospital.
The students were reportedly returning from a night outing around 2 am in two hired buses when, in the Zaria Road Stadium area, a trailer travelling at high speed apparently suffered brake failure and rammed into one of the buses. The impact caused the bus driver to lose control, sending the vehicle crashing into an electric pole just before the Farin Gada bridge.
A survivor recounted: “The collision tore the bus apart, killing eight occupants instantly before emergency responders later arrived to evacuate the bodies and rushed the two to a nearby hospital.
“We were sitting at the back, so the force didn’t hit us as badly. Immediately, the trailer struck us, and the bus started shaking. Before anyone could react, we hit the electric pole. The whole bus just broke apart.
“We were heading home after a night out in two buses around 2am when the tragic incident happened. It was so sudden. We didn’t even see the trailer. After the hit, everyone was shouting, then the crash happened.”
The Plateau State Police spokesman, DSP Alabo Alfred, was not immediately available to confirm the incident, but a senior police officer told DAILY POST a manhunt has been launched for the trailer driver who fled the scene following the accident.
