12 Soldiers Sentenced To Death For Mutiny by Endougs(m): 9:24am On Sep 16, 2014 |
A court martial has sentenced 12 Nigerian soldiers fighting Islamic extremists to death by firing squad for mutiny and attempted murder of their commanding officer. In a decision announced early on Tuesday, a military tribunal found 12 soldiers guilty and five others innocent. All the accused denied the charges. The soldiers accused their commanders of conspiring to kill fellow troopers after a convoy was ambushed on 13 May on a road frequently attacked by the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram. They were driving from Chibok, the north-eastern town from which more than 270 schoolgirls were kidnapped a month earlier. When the soldiers’ bodies were brought to north-eastern Maiduguri city, the surviving soldiers revolted, throwing stones at their commanding officer and then shooting at him. The officer took refuge in an armoured vehicle and was unharmed. http://endougs..com/2014/09/12-soldiers-sentenced-to-death-for.html |
