According to the charge sheet, the soldiers conspired to commit mutiny against their superior at the 7 Division on August 4 at the Mulai Primary School camp, opposite AIT Maiduguri, Borno state.
Captain J.E. Nwosu, an army Captain who is the prosecutor in the case, told the marshal panel that the accused soldiers had on August 4, in Maiduguri, refused to join the 111 Special Forces Battalion troops, commanded by Timothy Opurum, a Lieutenant Colonel for an operation which was meant to recapture Delwa, Bulabulin and Damboa in Borno State from members of Boko Haram.
Captain J.E Nwosu in his submission said the offence is punishable under Section 52(1) (a) of the Armed Forces Act Cap A20 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.
The commander of the 111 Special Forces, Lt.-Col. Opurum, while testifying before the panel as a witness, said in the recapture operation, only 4 officers and 29 soldiers participated in that particular operation with other soldiers hesitant to participate.
This brings to 66 the number of soldiers sentenced to death for mutiny. Their sentencing however is to be ratified by senior military authorities.

FAKE SENTENCING.NEVER THE LESS,I THINK THE MUTINY IS JUSTIFICATING...AKA..CONSCIENCE
Shebi, later they will be looking for new recruits....na wa o
the Army is killing the morale of these troops. if what the Battalion commander whose open letter to the President and as published yesterday on sahara reporters website is true, these soldiers are innocent and should be set free but those in the Defence headquarters and Divisional Commanders should be arrested, charged, sentenced to death and sentence executed immediately to serve as warning to others. You can rob peter to pay pay paul and still expect all to be well...NEVER!!!

True talk Yimi. The senior officers use d money for weapons to enrich themselves and have the heart to sentence these soldiers. May God take care of their families If they are really executed which I pray doesn't happen.
I am sorry but Nigeria is the most useless country in the world and Jonathan should be the one being executed. Boko Haram guys are still alive and they are killing soldiers every day. Nigeria is responding by further killing the soldiers. This imbecile call Jonathan should be executed by handing.
