As the Nigerian military prepares to celebrate the 40th edition of the Armed Forces Remembrance Day in honour of fallen heroes next January, the military Widows Association (MWA), has decried their treatments by the military authorities as non-essentials within the military community.
MWA an umbrella name for all wives of late servicemen stated over the weekend that the authorities appeared insensitive to their plights and those of their children.
In a conference, tagged ‘Unity Conference’ held at the Dike Park in the Mogadishu Cantonment Abuja Saturday, the military widows said that a situation whereby the families of deceased service personnel were thrown out of the barracks without adequate arrangements to cater to their immediate needs would no longer be acceptable.
