Verbal Reasoning

I remained at my station at Kaduna until I was posted to Ibadan to take over what was known as
Area 2 command. Area 2 was by then virtually a one Battalion conformation. This Battalion was
less than seven hundred men strong and fewer than a hundred rifles on charge, with fewer than twenty rounds of ammunition per rifle. There was one machine gun, one mortal, one recoilless
rifle and one set of clothing per soldier. The battalion had one land rover and two trucks issued to it. At the same time, the relationship between the soldiers and the civilian population was
strained almost to breaking point. This was caused by the authoritarian behavour and high headedness by some of the soldiers.

My first task was that of restoring mutual confidence and trust amongst soldiers, between the
soldiers and civilians. I discovered that apart from group affinity and loyalty, language was the
second friction, suspicion and fear among the soldiers. The actions of a few of the officers did
not help, but rather worsened the situation. I instructed that English, which is the nation’s
official language, would be the medium of communication throughout the unit. All soldiers were
also ordered to sleep in their barracks and to detest from molestation of the civilians.
Offenders were severely punished. Corporal punishment was not excluded. In fact, it was very
effective. I remembered a story of a sergeant who, without permission drove to Lagos in an army Land Rover to see his brothers without regard for, and over the heads of, and all the superior officers in his units, and the Area commander in Ibadan.

The case was reported to me, I had the sergeant formally charged for conduct of prejudicial to
good order and military discipline and for the use of government vehicles on an unauthorized journey. His unit remanded the case to me. The sergeant was marched before me and after his
charges had been read to me, He pleaded guilty. The sergeant was the severely
punished in accordance with military law. That put an end to such acts.
Within a short time, mutual trust and discipline were restored among the soldiers and the trust and understanding generated between the soldiers and the civilian populations.
