Comedian Ekene Egbuna, popularly known as Klintoncod, has said he does not pity Nigerian army and police officers who suffer from bad treatment by the country's government.

Klintoncod said this while reacting to a video showing the meagre quantity of food allocated for nine military officers for a month.

He shared on X, "I will continue saying this without remorse, any bad treatment towards the Nigerian army or police by the government or their superiors, I have zero pity. Power is in their hands, whenever they are tired, they know what to do."

This followed a post from last year, in which the comedian berated a soldier for complaining that he earns N50k despite the dangerous work he does for the country.

Klintoncod wrote, “In my opinion they deserve it, if they want salary increase, it’s also in their hands. Let them continue protecting people sharing millions of dollars whilst they receive N50k to live in the forest away from their families.”

Reacting, an X user, @Judiiaj, said, "They should hold their superiors responsible. The Generals hijack virtually everything meant for the smaller officers. The level of corruption in the military now is beyond government intervention."

@ion4real said, "See you see river, fire they burn you want make we wey far from river come help una bring water quench am? The military are not serious."

@Oomiinc said, "Insecurity is largely sponsored by govt officials. You so demotivate our soldiers and expect the best from them. ₦60, 000 allocated to each soldier highjacked and this malnutrition is delivered in return. Nigeria is getting worse, and to our soldiers, what are you waiting for?"

@zubairu_alkasim said, "It is extremely shameful to our Nigerian security, both police and army, and other security personnel, you're complaining about what our leaders are doing to fellow citizens, but you're still protecting them when it comes to the time of protests. You are welcome."
