Twenty-one witnesses have been lined up to testify
against 18 soldiers who are being court-martialled for alleged mutiny.
They were said to have opened fire at the utility
vehicle of the General Commanding Officer of the
Army’s 7 Division in Maiduguri, Borno State, Ahmadu Mohammed, on May 14.
The witnesses include a Major General, two
Brigadiers-General, three colonels, two Lieutenant-
Colonels, two Majors, and three Captains.
Others are a Lieutenant, two second Lieutenants, one Master Warrant Officer, three Sergeants and a private soldier.
The court is also empowered to call up other witness(es) if the need arises during the proceedings. The names of the witnesses are being withheld following concerns that revealing their identities might endanger them and compromise the ongoing trial of the soldiers.
The witnesses are expected to back the claims of the prosecution and tell the court-martial that the
suspects indeed committed the offences for which
they have been charged. The Commander, Army Headquarters Garrison, B.T.
Ndiomu, had on July 20 convened a General Court
Martial, GCM, to try the 18 soldiers for allegedly
rebelling against the army, disobeying their
superiors, threatening the lives of their commander
and bringing the army to disrepute.
The court martial, which is already underway, is
being presided over by C.C Okonkwo, a Brigadier
General. The army accused the soldiers of attempting to kill the GOC, Mohammed, who was immediately redeployed to another formation after the incident. The soldiers had blamed Mohammed, a Major General, for the deaths of their colleagues killed in an ambush near Chibok where nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped.
The military court is made up of seven members, two waiting members, a judge advocate and two
prosecuting officers.
Others members include: a liaison officer, a contact
officer, two officers authorised to sign any
amendment, convening officer and eight other
soldiers who form a court secretariat.
