Angry soldiers on Sunday paralyzed activities at the Maiduguri International Airport, Borno State, shooting indiscriminately to protest deployment from the state capital to another local government area.
The angry soldiers reportedly arrived at the airport at 6pm ahead of their posting to Marte Local Government Area of the state.
Trouble was said to have started when they regrouped and refused to board the aircraft which ought to convey them to the local government area.
The soldiers, who are of the Special Forces, said after spending over four years in Maiduguri, they ought to be sent back to their families and not to be posted to face death.
“The second batch of pilgrims from Borno boarded their flight amid the commotion,” a source said.
