Retired military personnel on Tuesday barricaded the entrance to the Ministry of Finance in Abuja with canopies and chairs, demanding the full payment of their long-overdue entitlements.

This protest follows a similar action in December, during which the retirees shut down the ministry over the government’s failure to settle their claims.

For months, the retirees were told there were no funds to clear their entitlements, despite an official approval for payment. They are owed a 20% to 28% salary increment covering January to November 2024.

The retirees are also demanding payments for other outstanding benefits, including Palliatives for the period between October 2023 and November 2024, an additional N32,000 added to their pensions, a bulk payment of the Security Debarment Allowance, and a refund of pension deductions from the salaries of medically boarded soldiers.

A heartwarming video has emerged online, showcasing Angela Nwosu’s poignant reaction to receiving a breathtaking mansion from her husband, Sound Mind. The emotional moment was captured on camera, with Nwosu visibly overcome with gratitude, tears streaming down her face.

In the video, Nwosu can be heard expressing her deepest appreciation to her husband, humbly asking what she had done to deserve such an extraordinary gift. Her words underscored the profound impact of her husband’s thoughtful gesture.

Accompanying the video post, Nwosu penned a heartfelt message, “I’m at a loss to describe the depth of love behind this incredible gift. He’s truly the best.”

The romantic gesture has left fans and followers in awe of the couple’s profound love and affection for each other, with many taking to social media to express their admiration for the pair’s relationship.
