Linus Aleke in AbujaThe Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has restated its unwavering commitment to the welfare of wounded soldiers, dismissing social media claims alleging neglect, inadequate care and institutional indifference towards military personnel injured in the line of duty. According to him, the welfare of Nigerian military personnel—particularly those wounded in action—remains a moral and institutional priority. He explained that all personnel injured during combat or operations are entitled to comprehensive medical care under established Armed Forces medical policies. While acknowledging that welfare systems require continuous improvement, the Defence Headquarters said constructive feedback remains welcome. The Defence Headquarters reaffirmed the Armed Forces’ commitment to transparency, accountability and, above all, the welfare and dignity of personnel who risk their lives in defence of the country.
