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.

ReplyDeletep4dworld@gmail.com
Na wa oh,the soildiers are afraid of bokoharam....now it's their death penalty. but seriously it's not easy to decide to become a soldier oh,if they actually entered the army on their own volition they should be aware of the consequences and not run away when it is time for war. Am sure it's part of their rules and regulations so they may have to face it....chai.
ReplyDeleteMadam abi Oga check ur facts they didn't run frm their duty, they only refused based on the fact that tthey were not given proper weapons to fight them bokos. Mutiny mostly happens when soldiers are not given the right incentives or weapons to carryout their duties. So stop spreading wht u dnt knw. The numb of soldiers been killed in maiduguri is more than those we r told, n dey reason is cuz of obsolete weapons not their frame of mind. Y wudnt they carryout mutiny when their superiors sells them out to boko for money.

ReplyDeleteI don't believe in death sentence. Everyone deserves a chance. No one can make life so no one has the right to take it away.
ReplyDeletePhew! I don't envy soldiers at this particular time atall.
ReplyDeleteill equiped they are sent to confront Boko haram,helplessly they are slaughtered, and when they refuse to fight with cutlass and koboko, they're sentenced to death.

ReplyDeleteI know mutiny is a serious crime in military but they should reconsider them afterall it is not their fault. Had it been they were given adequate arms to fight BH there won't' be an attempt for mutiny
ReplyDeleteIt's a national call,to serve as deterrent to other serving officers! Punishment YES!! But death by firing squad, NO!! Lesser punishment would do justice pleeeaaase.
ReplyDeleteMutiny mutiny mutiny! Hmmmm! I heard in the news that the death sentence is subject to confirmation by some top gvt Officials tho! *there's hope*

ReplyDeleteWe don't have 54 soldiers to kill just like that.
ReplyDeleteNa we come dey bokoharam our own army by ourselves. Although they are bound by oath to serve the country.. so I don't blame the corrupt military chiefs who are supposed to be brought to justice too..
ReplyDeleteGod himself won't forgive u guys. Leave these men alone.
ReplyDeleteHmmmmm mm
ReplyDeleteReally?! Kai!!
ReplyDeleteNawa. I dont blame this soldiers. Its not easy to see fellow combatant fall in warfront and stil have courage fighting the next day. I no God will surely deliver us
ReplyDeletehope they are nt the soldiers in the picture ooooo, cos they look relax and one is even laffin, nt sure it will happen tho#my opinion untill i see it on national TV
ReplyDeleteThere's a law or constitution guiding the Army, these soldiers took an oath to adhere to the laid down law. Mutiny is a punishable act in Army all over the world, sentiment is doing us no good
ReplyDeleteand our GCFR continues to look as the number in military dwindles... What better way for BH to act that this useless court martial...
ReplyDeleteNonsense!
So sad...
ReplyDeleteAbeg ooo tamper justice wit mercy ooo!!
ReplyDeleteWhy don't these their ogas be at the war front themselves. Who no dey fear death. To me, this is not fair. No equipments to fight with so who won't run. Let the senior military authority ratify well and set them free. My take.

ReplyDeleteOMG, peoples sons and fathers? What a world
ReplyDeletePlz ooo pardon. Abeg

ReplyDeleteHmmm.na wa o.dey av not committed o.still conspiracy. Firing squad? Pls dey need 2 review dis dere law o
ReplyDeleteNo nah!!! I do not support this. Even if they committed mutiny, there are other ways to punish them than killing them for goodness sake. Isn't it God that gave us life, so who gave them the right to decide when one is to die or not. They get another way of ratifying the problem. They can even remove the from the force.... Killing isn't the way forward.
ReplyDeleteEyah, I feel for their families.
ReplyDeletePls dey should pardon dem biko
ReplyDeleteWe need a new presido already
ReplyDeleteThey should free them pls or as they say tamper justice with mercy
ReplyDeleteyou are a big fool,these men risk their lives for your safety and u open your dirty mouth to say thrash,why don't you and all the men in your village go and face boko haram,I have lived in Maiduguri and i've seen,I'm sure you don't even know the sound of a gun....idiot.....and yes there are other punishments...leezadamz waiting for u to spit fire
ReplyDeleteAre they mad? What's wrong with our country? I guess its #EndTimeThings
ReplyDeleteu dont fight terrorism with mere AK47! let the army authorities and the FG do the needful by providing enough funding for arms, ammunitions e.t.c. needed for the effective empowerment. sending soldiers to go and fight without adequate weapons is tantamount to suicide mission cos obviously, as it stands, BH is more armed them NA even as confirmed by some soldiers sef! if after providing and doing the needful, they still indulge in refusals/mutiny, then u can punish them appropriately.May God help us in Naija!
