Nigerian soldiers push armoured tank on battle field
A video of soldiers pushing an apparently faulty
armoured personnel carrier (APC) has surfaced online.
In what appears a frontline in the fight against
Boko Haram insurgents, the soldiers were heard saying “they are pushing APC by
number. Nigerian army, there is problem.”
An APC is a combat vehicle designed with arms and
equipped to transport squad of soldiers.
Lately, military formations have been attacked and
troops have been complaining of lack of equipment to help their fight against
the insurgents.
“Most of the APCs are with faulty engines,” a
soldier said.
“The APC mainly has two engines, one to power the
barrels and the other the wheels. But when one is faulty, we put all the loads
on the one functioning and if you advance for five minutes it starts to
overheat.”
