“I’m Not Lying, I Have Proof”- Dismissed Soldier Soja Boi Releases Receipts to Back Claims

• Dismissed soldier Rotimi Olamilekan, aka Soja Boi, has responded after the Nigerian Army denied his claims, insisting he is telling the truth and presenting payment receipts as evidence while urging the public to verify his statements.

Dismissed lance corporal Rotimi Olamilekan, popularly known as Soja Boi, has reacted after the Nigerian Army dismissed statements he made during a recent podcast appearance.

The Army had earlier debunked his claims, describing them as false. However, Soja Boi has returned online, insisting that his statements were factual and backed by evidence.

In a follow-up video, he presented what he described as payment receipts, detailing various components of his earnings, including salary, operational allowances, and other entitlements. According to him, some of these allowances are conditional and only paid when personnel are actively deployed for operations.

He maintained that his intention was not to discredit the Nigerian Army but to share what he described as the reality on ground, urging the public to verify his claims independently.

He said in part:

“I been dey see some kind trends wey dey go online concerning the interview wey I do so I see say Nigerian Army the counter am say na lie. It’s not as if I’m trying to spoil the image of the Nigerian army or to make it look like they’re not good, no. I’m just speaking the facts and I will be backing it with evidence.

“This receipt na my salary. This second one na that one wey I tell you be 20K. E get another one, operation allowance. If you dey Maiduguri or if them carry you go Maiduguri. If you no dey operation they no go pay you that one. If you go operation na him maybe they go pay you. That one na him you dey see [the receipt] for up, na 45K. E get another one, cigarette allowance that one na 6K. And the operation allowance and cigarette allowance if you no dey operation they no go pay you.

“So if they talk say I dey lie concerning the uniform matter, if you get friend or relative for the army, call them and ask them if maybe I’m lying.”

His response has continued to generate reactions online, with many Nigerians debating the claims and counterclaims between the dismissed soldier and the military authorities.
