Meanwhile, human rights’ activist and Amnesty International-designated prisoner of conscience, Omoyele Sowore, among other Nigerians, condemned the sharing of cash gift to the soldiers by the governor.

Reacting in a post on Facebook, Sowore accused Nigerian politicians of reducing the military to an ‘Area Boys Battalion’.

“See what the Nigerian military has been reduced to? Incompetent morons driving around with public cash have all reduced the military to an “Area Boys Battalion” SAD! This is Gov. Bello Matabandit of Zamfara state by the way. #RevolutionNow #BuhariMustGo,” the activist said.
