segxwally transmitted diseases, especially HIV/AIDS, have been identified as the second largest killer of Nigerian soldiers especially during peacekeeping operations outside Nigeria.
Colonel Adewale Adeniyi Taiwo, commanding officer of 245 Battalion, who disclosed this during the workshop for officers and senior non-commissioned officers of 82 Division, said members of the Nigerian Armed Forces, especially the soldiers, had been reckless when it came to segxwal behaviour during foreign assignments, noting that this accounted for the reason many suffered from related diseases and infections.
Taiwo, who spoke as a guest lecturer on the topic, “Nigeria in Peace Support Operations: An Appraisal,” during the 82 Division officers and senior non-commissioned officers’ study period hosted by the 13 Brigade, Nigerian Army, at the Eburutu Barracks in Calabar, stressed that Nigerian soldiers should curtail this habit, hinting that “during the ECOMOG operation in Sierra Leone, HIV/AIDS became the second largest killer of deployed Nigerian troops next to gunshot wounds.”
He attributed this to the long period of stay of Nigerian units in various missions abroad, saying this usually led to reckless segxwal behaviour on the part of the troops. He added that “the longer units are deployed in a mission, the more prone they are to HIV/AIDS and other infections.”
