The 12 soldiers who attacked their GOC in Maiduguri have been sentenced to death

13 out of the 18 soldiers standing trial for participating in the mutiny (revolt action) against their General Officer Commanding, Maj. Gen. Ahmed Mohammed at the newly created 7 Division of the Nigerian Army in Maiduguri on May 12th have been sentenced to death by a military court that sat in Abuja yesterday night September 15th.

Five others were discharged and acquitted while one was jailed for 28 days with hard labor. Choi, they should temper justice with mercy biko o. Continue

The soldiers had on May 14th revolted against poor remuneration and lack of sophisticated weapons to fight Boko Haram. On that particular day, the soldiers lost their cool after seeing the corpse of some of their colleagues killed by Boko Haram men. They immediately opened fire on their GOC, who luckily escaped unhurt.

The President of the Court Martial (military court), Maj. Gen. C.C. Okonkwo, while delivering his judgement said the 12 soldiers were found guilty of criminal conspiracy, mutiny, attempt to commit murder (shooting at the vehicle of the GOC); insubordination to a particular order; insubordination and false accusation.
Those sentenced are Jasper Braidolor, David Musa, Friday Onuh, Yusuf Shuaibu, Igonmu Emmanuel, Andrew Ugbede, Nurudeen Ahmed, Ifeanyi Alukagba, Alao Samuel, Amadi Chukwuma, Alan Linus, and Stephen Clement.

The legal team of the convicts pleaded with the court martial to be lenient and temper justice with mercy stating that some of the men convicted were the sole providers of their families. One of the convict is said to be the only child of his 80 year old mother while another is said to be the father of a 5-month old baby. The legal team argued that giving them maximum sentence would do more harm than good, adding that it would increase the agony of their dependants.

Other members of the court are: Col. TS Nurseman, Col. TO Olowomeye, Col. IG Lassa, Lt.Col. JK Feboke, Lt. Col. CR Nnebeife, Major I Yusuf, Major TA Yakubu and Major AE Martins.
Lt. Col. AA Audu and Lt. Col. U Ukpe served as prosecutors.

  11. justice should be tempered with mercy..plssssssssssss

  12. Pheeeew! Life could be so unfair.
    The general rode in a well protected armoured personnel carrier,while they were meant to face Boko haram with mere koboko and machete.
    And to crown it,they will be killed for staking their lives to protect others.
    May God give their friends and relatives the fortitude to bear these impending losses.

  29. though the sentence is normal in the military for such an offense, but i think justice should be do with a little mercy! meanwhile the allegations against the GOC should be investigated thoroughly to avoid a re-occurrence

  61. Seems unduly harsh. In as much as mutiny is taboo within military ranks, the soldiers can be forgiven for their anger at being sent on suicide missions.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Why then no kill their Oga. Na most of their Oga dey set them up to get killed by Boko Haram. May God help us in this country.

  67. Under military law; Mutiny is punishable by only death. If they fail to remove the cancer, it grows and can become unbearable. Semper Fi

    ReplyDelete
  68. They should not kill them please. They can be jailed for some years and then retrenched from the army.

    ReplyDelete
  69. And boko haram will laugh so hard at this act of foolishness by the army...How on earth is this supposed to boost the morale of those soldier's at war? really wish they could be pardoned

    ReplyDelete
  70. pls des men should be forgivinng

    ReplyDelete
  71. This is absurd and beyond reasoning. The last thing we need as a nation now is to be sentencing people that are fighting this war to death.

    ReplyDelete
  72. They should have pity them small. But this soldiers wicked shaa. They think after God na them.One wan quarrel me cos I was looking at one of their victim the other day. My tears go to their families.

    ReplyDelete
  73. See dix foolish ppl
    They should be rallying around for as many soldiers they can get and they here handing out court marshall to the ones they already have
    Foolish mofo
    I've a few frnds in d service,these soldiers re not well equipped and they re thrust deep into BH to fight a more sophisticated enemy

  85. Hummm.......I said it early.....in millitry law, the crime is called attempting mutiny and the punishment is death, in millitry when embarking on mutiny be it just or not the person must be successful ie by demoting his general before u even plan it u must have backing from some top officers.....unsuccessful mutiny lead to death sentence....but any how they should temper justice with mercy considering the situation at hand at that moment.

    ReplyDelete
  100. Linda....the constitution of the military already has a grave punishment for mutiny & worse for trying to kill a superior officer, a GOC for that matter. Do you know who a GOC is in the army? These soldiers knew the consequences of their actions if they were caught & yet they went ahead to do it & now you're talking about tempering justice with mercy? let's also forgive Shekau & the entire boko haram then. What magnitude of indiscipline these soldiers displayed. WTF?

    ReplyDelete
  101. This judgement is terrible, unacceptable and should be condemned by all Nigerians. Soldiers don't just revolt for no just cause. The should address the issue that caused this so called mutiny not taking innocent lives on a platter of unjust death sentence!!

    ReplyDelete
  102. This is against human right! We should all stand up for the killing of the 12 , No more killing in the land. Is dat wat is obtainable in 21st century military in western countries. Pls linda, safe this lives, let's all shout out loud! Dismiss them don't kill dem

    ReplyDelete
  131. This is wicked! and very disappointing, I hope our so called "human right activist" will rise to this occasion and let these 'heroes' off the hook of this corrupt jungle justice military court martial judgment. Same judgment was meted out at our brave combatant soldiers that went on Liberia mission only to come back and be denied of their benefits and entitlement. This country is in a deep shit... by the extreme greed of the big belle military senior boys. I bet, the GOC that sent the boys on a suicide mission is a Boko haram member and he decided to waste some of our good guys serving the nation whole heartedly by the virtue of his action. This country is useless...

    Is this how to discipline? what kind of message does the 'senior boys' think they are sending out to the few soldiers committed to defending out nation, perhaps the awareness is that, the next time you have such an occurrence the GOC should be killed and let the consequences be faced.....useless people!

  135. i smelt jungle justice! Who is that self judge? Mutiny is not worth the death penalty. The president should react to this!

    ReplyDelete
  136. The Nigerian military is a joke! Why would anyone want to die for this country after seeing something like this. You send a bunch of demoralized soldiers with antiquated weapons to fight a more sophisticated menace. What were you expecting would happen? And besides, were the accusations raised by the soldiers on their commanding officer looked into as well? I guess not. They will probably cover it up under the guise of the officer being their superior. Answer me this Nigeria, What pride is there in dying for your country that doesn't care about your sacrifice?

They protested against their rights that are being denied them, abi they should keep quiet and just wait to be slaughtered like chickens by BH? This is so sick! They can punish them lightly not to the extreme biko! This is a very bad way to reward heroes who have been trying to keep the country safe by risking their lives! FG should not allow this to happen o, they just should not try it! I'm so angry right now! WTF???

  148. army is one of the most stupid organisation in Nigeria, why will they kill them because the man is an officer if is a soldier they shot nothing will happen. if i happen to still be in the army i will never do anything for the fucking job i serve in the army for 3 years i have seen so much, the army have no future for the soldiers only for the office, i dont know what we young men are doing in the army.army is not a place to be in Nigeria. soldiers should learn and start thinking how they will kill all those fools that will they whent to NDA call their self office eating soldiers money feeling they are God men God punish all the officer in nigerian.

  152. Too harsh. They should please have mercy. At least detention with hard labour should be punishment enough but not the death sentence.

  159. Goodluck goes for a meeting with one of the sponsors of boko haram and then those who are protesting the unfairness of the death of their colleagues are now sent to death. God's judgement will visit the people involved in this wickedness...

  160. The soldiers did no wrong! They were being sent to their deaths by commandants who were working with boko haram!! How would you feel if you met the bodies of your colleagues who were set up by your boss? Besides they never meant to kill their commandant if not they would have succeeded. I hope the world takes notice and intervenes!!!

  161. Though this is military affair, they have their ways of doing things, but the president who is the commander in chief of the armed forces should please, please and please inrtervain in this matter because it concerns life both the lives of the soldiers and the lives of their dependants.

  166. Am I the only one that read the part that said they started shooting at their general? Which means they tried to kill him? They should have thought about how harsh it was when they sentenced their general to death. Now justice (in other words Karma) has to prevail. think before you do things, and when you decide to do them, don't cry crocodile tears when its time to dance to the beat of the tune you decided to play.

  167. Nigerians are very good at this. They will consciously do something wrong, and when they are caught and brought for punishment they will begin to plead and swear with their first ancestor that they are sorry and will never do it again. And then when they are released, they do it again. In other words what does that define?.. Sociopaths!

  168. Under military law across the world, MUTINY IS PUNISHABLE BY ONLY DEATH. Its unfortunate to be dis way, but that is what needs to be done or else anarchy would be the order of the day

  169. It's understandable the emotions most people feel here,but look the constitution of the military anywhere in the world is clear to the soldiers that serve within it. Mutiny in the military is a very GRAVE offence,especially when you try to kill a superior officer, a general for that matter, a GOC for that matter. Do you guys know a GOC is like next in hierarchy to the chief of army staff? This action of the soldiers shows gross indiscipline & the soldiers knew what consequences they'd face for such an action(by the constitution of the military) if caught yet they went ahead to do it.
    This action of theirs is a direct threat to even the life of the president & that's why the military doesn't joke with such things. If any soldier can do this,it means that they can easily sell secrets of the military to enemies of the nation & even aid the enemy (which at this point in time is boko haram). It's a sad thing,but the soldiers knew that a death sentence is usually the reward for such an action,but they still went ahead to do it.
