The leader of the group, Abiodun Durowaiye-Herberts, said they had embarked on the protest as a result of the untold hardship and clear neglect of members by the authorities.
He lamented that despite serving the country with all their might to ensure the country remains united, peaceful and free they are being subjected to such treatment.
Durowaiye-Herberts vowed that the group would continue with the protest until their demands are met.
