Aggrieved retired military personnel, yesterday, barricaded the main entrance of the Federal Ministry of Finance headquarters in Abuja for about six hours in protest against the non-payment of their statutory entitlements, disrupting official activities and drawing public attention to their plight.
The peaceful protest, staged by both male and female veterans, some in camouflage, was meant to demand the immediate payment of their gratuity balances, Security Debarment Allowance (SDA), and parking allowances allegedly withheld since their disengagement from the Nigerian Armed Forces.
