He was set up. He did not need to physically steal money, as a G.O.C, he had lots of money at his disposal to runthe command. Ordinary Commanding officers of barracks have millions to play around with, not to talk of a whole G.OC.

His junior brother was my class mate at the University, so I knew the story when it happened on a personal level.

That's bad luck.

shortgun:

Set up by who?
Why did he return over 150 million naira if he didn't steal it?

wirinet:

Believe me, he did not need to steal the N400 million as A G.O.C. Can't you see that he was brought in a wheel chair? Do do know the amount of torture he had endured before being brought to the court marshall? How many soldiers had admitted to planning coups they knew nothing of after being set up and brought before military court marshall.
Otiki was already balling in Abuja when he was ADC to General Diya.

shortgun:

How much is the salary of a major General in the Nigerian army?
For you to say the man has been balling since the time of General Diya means he's not a clean officer
Stop supporting evil people in this country

Goodvibes007:
This man was dismissed in July 2020. Almost 4 years ago.

Pickmycall:
He wasn't fully dismissed.The court marshal ruling stated that there would be a recommendation from a board to approve it.
But why most elite dey use wheelchair or walking stick to disguise?

wirinet:

He was tortured. You could see he could hardly stand up. A military General would not feign injury for such a stupid allegation.

Pickmycall:
It is forbidden.He would sue the army.

In addition:
Listen to the report well, he was never accused of physically stealing the money. Money that was to be used for projects under his supervision was stolen in transit by 4 Corporal officers under his command. Added to that he was accused of misappropriation of funds. Now ask yourself, where are the 4 corporals, and why are they not at the court marshall?
Also note that at the end of the report, it says that there was already a frosty relationship between Lt General Adeosun , the head of the court marshall and Major General Otiki.

wirinet:

You cannot sue the army.

You are looking for a clean officer within the Nigerian army or Nigerian millitary. You stand a better chance of finding a virgin in a maternity ward.
I have many people within the senior cadre of the military in my extended family, so I know the kinds of dirty games they play. They set up senior officers by simply having junior officers steal guns, ammunition or cash under your command and you get court marshalled, demoted and dismissed.
