Recall that the Nigerian Army had through separate General Court Martials in January and March 2015, sentenced to death by firing squad the 54 soldiers for mutiny, but in 2019, commuted the sentence to 10 years imprisonment.

PRESS RELEASE:
President Muhammadu Buhari yesterday Thursday, 9th April, 2020, ordered the release of 2,600 inmates of Nigeria’s correctional centres. This move has already been hailed by an Islamic human rights advocacy group, the Muslim Rights Concern (MURIC). The commendation came on Friday, 10th April, 2020 in a press release issued by the director of the organization, Professor Ishaq Akintola who described the president’s action as timely and humane.

However, MURIC reminded those who are to implement the presidential pardon to include the 54 soldiers of the Nigerian Army who are currently serving a 10-year jail term for requesting for better weapons to fight Boko Haram.

“Some of the 54 soldiers are in Kirikiri and Ikoyi correctional centres. We urge the presidential team to visit those places. The war against terror will remain shady until the authorities give justice its prime of place. Funds meant for the purchase of weapons were being diverted to private pockets while our soldiers were stinted of vital equipment. Nobody knew about this fraud until the 54 soldiers cried out. It led to the exposure of the $2.1 billion armsgate. But instead of hailing the 54 soldiers as heroes of the land, they were clamped in jail. We hereby appeal to the committee handling the implementation of the presidential amnesty to consider them.”

Well Muric playing on our intelligence as usual.

They know their objective and it's not these distractions

They are simply working hard to give the group some credibility in time for the 2023 elections.

Good indeed

Terrorist group!

Not a bad request.

A terrorist regime that have openly displayed affection for terrorists pardoning soldiers that refused to fight the same terrorist they refused to provide them superior weapons to fight against.What a country.

Not a bad request

If the government could find some Boko Haram members worthy of being set free under the guise of rehabilitation and repentance, then these ex-military officers whose offence was the exposure of their ill-equiped state at the battle front against the same BH should also be considered for pardon.

Nice one from Prof Weather Akintola

They protested for weapons to kill Buhari's boys.

Boys that Buhari releases that's who these ones need weapons to kill.

Is as if this MURIC con_man have a username here, his story is always here, ojoro Yoruba Muslim man

Taqiyya
Be Afraid be very afraid
Muric is up to something nastyin the near future

This is commendable coming from MURIC

I still remember that soldier's open letter to his five year old son.... I would like to see him reunite with his family.

First time in history Muric has ever made sense

GamalNasser:
First time in history Muric has ever made sense

This is the second time.

The first time was when MUMURIC advised Muslims to stay away from Mosques over COVID-19 and vehemently opposed Imams that still lead many people to prayers.

MURIC taking a swipe at former CAN President

When you got to the part where they said that the soldiers were Court martialed in March 2015 under the clueless one, you went blind as usual!!!
