Mutiny: 54 Soldiers Sentenced To Death By Firing Squad, 5 Freed by Nobody: 10:04pm On Dec 17, 2014 |
Fifty-four of the 59 soldiers standing trial for mutiny and conspiracy to commit mutiny have bagged the death sentence. They are to face the firing squad having been found guilty of the offences. The General Court Martial, which has been sitting since October, however, discharged and acquitted five of the soldiers. Delivering the judgment at the Mogadishu Cantonment, Abuja Wednesday night, chairman of the GCM, Major General Musa Yusuf, said the soldiers reserved the right to appeal the verdict at a higher authority. The 59 soldiers were among the troops engaged in counter insurgency operations in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states, where the Boko Haram insurgents have taken over a number of Nigerian towns and villages in Northeastern Nigeria. The soldiers were accused of refusing lawful orders to fight, an offence the military authorities described as conspiracy and mutiny. The first batch of soldiers that were tried for mutiny also bagged the death sentence for shooting at their commanding officer. The verdict is being appealed by their lawyers. All the 59 soldiers had pleaded not guilty to the charges preferred against them by the General Court Martial during the trial. http://thenationonlineng.net/new/mutiny-54-soldiers-face-firing-squad-five-freed/ 4 Likes 3 Shares |

Too bad.The military profession is not meant for everyone,you either fall in line or you fall out.A very high sense of discipline and obedience is required to be a successful military officer.It is not for the faint hearted. 24 Likes 2 Shares |

Too baaaaddddd Harsh trial These innocent soldiers are later going to be busted for their mutiny despite them being the active force for field work There should still be a review of the death penalty, they should be jailed for life instead firing sqad Am just pretty much ungrateful about it 4 Likes 1 Share |

The soldiers have to pay with their life's For, the corruption of their ogas For the lack of fire power to combat the Boko Haram For refusing to allow their lives to be slaughter like fowls because of out dated guns and fire power.

The officers are not happy that the ratings are exposing them. They do nothing but sit and eat money mercilessly at the detriment of civilians. They siphone money meant to purchase arms and use it to build houses here and there. Courtesy of the letter written to jonathan by a commanding officer. I believe the military can fight out this insurgents terrorizing my homestate but they believe the money will stop flowing when the hostiles die. 10 Likes 2 Shares |

My God! That's quite a huge number. We are talking about human lives here! If I kill 54 chickens this Xmas,my conscience will bug me, talkless of killing 54 humans. Sentencing 54 people to death will definitely destroy the already dead morale of the soldiers at the battlefield. The Court Martilal should have borne this in mind before delivering this ridiculous judgement. Its not like we're even in the military era for Crissakes! Anyways, they have a right to appeal. I'm very sure the Court of Appeal will reverse this stupendous judgement. Extremely pissed right now 15 Likes 1 Share |
