Nigerian Army Jails Lt. Col., 15 Others Over Chibok Girls’ Abduction by Nobody: 6:51am On Dec 24, 2014
The Nigerian Army has sentenced three officers and 13 other soldiers to two years’ imprisonment each over the April 14, 2014 abduction of over 200 schoolchildren from their hostel in Chibok, Borno State, by Boko Haram insurgents.

The soldiers, including a Lieutenant Colonel, a Captain and a Second lieutenant, were arraigned before a General Military Court Martial at the Maxwell Khobe Military Cantonment, Rukuba in Jos, Plateau State, in October 2014.

The officers are Col. A. O. Ojo, Capt. O. O. Ogunrinde, and 2nd Lieutenant V.I. Godknows. Although the trial started at the headquarters of the 3rd Armoured Division of the Army in Jos, the court was moved to Kaduna where the judgment was delivered on Tuesday.

Was it the soldiers who kidnapped the girls or are they being sentenced for their inability to rescue the girls, give their complaints of being poorly equipped?

These military personnel are going to jail because they don't want to talk. I'm sure Falana or Keyamo will come to their rescue and Nigerians will hear the truth.

The military promised to investigate the Amnesty International report indicting them of complicity in the kidnap.

This may be the outcome of military investigation

Read the AI report below

An Amnesty International report claims that Nigerian security forces had warning of an imminent attack four hours before Boko Haram abducted 300 schoolgirls from their school in Chibok in rural Nigeria, but failed to send reinforcements or otherwise act to prevent the abduction.

Amnesty International cites “multiple interviews with credible sources,” including two senior military officials, that say the military, state officials and the Borno state governor were all alerted of a potential attack by local officials who passed on reports of armed militants in local villages. The military knew an attack was planned prior to local warnings as well.

Between 7:00 p.m. on April 14 and 2:00 a.m. on April 15, local militia patrols repeatedly warned Nigerian military commands located 22 and 80 miles away from Chibok that a raid would occur. The raid occurred at 11:45 p.m. on April 14.

The military failed to respond accordingly because of a lack of resources and fears of being outgunned by better-equipped Boko Haram insurgents. Seventeen army personnel and the local police forces were left to respond to the attack, but were forced to retreat by 200 armed Boko Haram fighters.

“There’s a lot of frustration, exhaustion and fatigue among officers and [troops] based in the hot spots,” said one Nigerian officer, who confirmed that the military had prior warning. “Many soldiers are afraid to go the battle fronts.”

One local official says he was assured that reinforcements were on the way, but Amnesty reports that they didn’t arrive even after the abduction took place, and Boko Haram left with the girls in custody.


“It amounts to a gross dereliction of Nigeria’s duty to protect civilians, who remain sitting ducks for such attacks,” says Netsanet Belay, Amnestry International’s Africa Director of Research and Advocacy. “The Nigerian leadership must now use all lawful means at their disposal to secure the girls’ safe release and ensure nothing like this can happen again.”

Approximately 50 of the girls were able to escape during the raid but Islamist militants abducted 276 of their classmates. Boko Haram’s leader said in a video that he would sell the young girls as bride slaves.

Re: Nigerian Army Jails Lt. Col., 15 Others Over Chibok Girls’ Abduction by oziegbe2015: 10:02am On Dec 24, 2014
Now i know when clueless made the statement that boko haram has infilterated his cabinet, for them to infilterate the military is very terrible to hear, as a commander in chief of the armed forces where was he when this was going on. Or will he blame apc for this too, maybe apc has now become more powerful than a whole commander in chief to do this. Is like boko haram not only infilterated aso rock but also also infilterated jonathan's brain and hacked it. For cattle rearers to hack the brain of a PHD holder. That shows you the dummy we have as president

Re: Nigerian Army Jails Lt. Col., 15 Others Over Chibok Girls’ Abduction by ideology(m): 12:41pm On Dec 24, 2014
Go to Chibok and hear the full story you will be amazed.

1. To you know that Chibok community wrote to State government through ministry of education 2weeks before the kidnapping of suspected attacks.

2. Do you know that 4hours before the attack military men in the area where informed of a possible attack that day.

3. Do you know that the kidnapping lasted for some hours without the intervention of any security force.

4. Do you know that the children of the principal of the school and community leaders who also attend the school were not among those kidnapped.

5. Do you know that the presidency was not briefed of exactly what happened and actual facts on time hence buying time for BH to escape to farther distance.

6. How could 300 students be kidnapped at once, what kind of vehicle was used to convey them, that the army could not tract and intercept, even before they left chibok town.

7. There also reports as at then that buses do come to town to buy food stuffs and drugs and drive back into the bush.

8. Some of the girls that escaped, told TVC reporter, that they were well taken care of, only a few of them were rude. But There leaders never allowed any one to hurt them.

there are a lot of things going on in this country, many people don't know. We only comment on the surface and from stories we are fed by the media.

Not until CNN reporters came, most of what was published about chibok girls were false.

I only pity guilible Nigerians, that are easily brainwashed, hence they blame GEJ for every thing.

Recently GEJ opened up that he's being wrongly advised, which is the truth. GEJ IS NOT LIVING IN BORNU OR Yobe. If the people working with him lie to him, there is little he can do.
He may be the C-N-C, but He's not the one that will assign the type of weapons and strategies to be used.
The whole system is sabotaged

Bh may have started as a religious sect in 2002. They were known, they didn't hid their identity. The religious leaders, politicians, Emirs, Elites knew them. They had a Mosque where they worshipped.

LET ME STOP HERE

BH of today is politically motivated, with sympathizers across all sections.
Its on record most of their weapons are gotten from Nigerian Army Armory. How did they get to army base to steal weapons, except they have infiltrators and sympathizers.

The media is not even helping issues, every time we discuss security issues on TV, we only end up informing them on what next to do and governments next action point.

They may not look intelligent and smart and educated but the main sponsors and people running the shows are educated and are living with us.

BH will not be solved with military might. They have sympathizers that leak info to them.

It will be solved by calling the boys to order.
These boys are answerable to some top emirs, sultans, imans, politicians, elites. In the North


We have seen reports of BH members hidding in an emirs home or having meeting with political class.
A politicians phone calls have been traced to see that they have contacts with BH MEMBERS

militancy in Niger Delta was stopped by calling the boys to order, no amount of JTF stopped them.
They were sponsored.
Yaradua sent GEJ to ND. He held meetings with politicians and traditional rulers in the region.
And the boys were called to order and compensated with Amnesty.

God bless Nigeria
