Sir,

INCIDENCE THAT MADE ME SEEK SHELTER FOR MY FAMILY AT HQ NASS TRANSIT CAMP UNTIL I WAS FORCEFULLY EJECTED TODAY 10/01/22

I have to resolve to this means as every other means within my reach have not yielded any positive result after years of complains

It is on record that in the year 2017,I was posted by this HQ from Kaduna to Bayelsa state under signals posting along with other soldiers from different formations to report to the various commands and units under the then newly formed 6Division.

Ever since I reported in July 2018, and was TOS, the issue of accommodation have been the major challenge I have been facing up till the present moment I write this piece
After several efforts, complains and pleas to get an accommodation space within the military premises proved abortive, I had no other choice than to raise funds to pay for an accommodation outside the barracks

This has been the trend ever since October 2018 till April 2021 when my rents expired and was ejected by my Landlord as I could no longer meet up with my rents demands.

This left me without any other option than to relocate my family to Lagos, where I was able to get to NAS transit pending when I will be able to generate funds for another apartment until I was forcefully ejected today

I want u to know sir that this is my second time of writing this as the first one written didn’t reach its expected destination.

Finally sir,I want it to be known that as a serving Nigerian soldier, I presently do not have any accommodation within or without any military formation or barracks in Nigeria.
