If they are guilty and they are pardoned, it will affect d military foundations. Mutiny? Were they insane? They had already decided to die for sure. Fire a gun at an officer? a GOC for dat matter? Well I don't want any1 to die but dis is military not boys'scout. They should hav known better. Freeing dem will set an antecedent, datz d established theory and fear dat wil ensure they go six feet down. God be wid dem. They used their own hands to make their own wives and kids widows and the fatherless, not even in battlefield warfront! but wid their own leader. Oh insurbodination where is thy pride? Oh death where is thy sting? |

It is, but considering what their agitations was, I think their sentence should be lessen. I can't imagine those guys be shot dead and their pictures pasted here in Nairaland as ''Last known Pictures Of Famous Dead People''. barcanista: The Law Must be served to the latter!!!

I do not know what "rules of evidence" the military uses. I read in daily Trust (?) some details of the trial. The prosecution is so sorry, they did not even attempt to prove their case of mutiny. 1)The GOC had no gunshot wounds to evidence that 20 of his trained marksmen tried to gun him down. (Did he train them so badly they could not hit the target at stone throw distance?) 2) The GOC's vehicle had no bullet holes. . (Did Mr. GOC Mohammed train his men so badly they could not hit an elephant across a room? Or where they not shooting at him?) The car was not even brought before the tribunal as evidence The Judges should have dismissed the case if Mr GOC Mohammed had no bullet wounds (maybe him get juju) and his car had no bullet holes. We like to think of the Army as a unit, but even they have disagreements among themselves. 3)Soldiers and policemen have been known to shoot their guns in celebration and on other occasions. the shootings at the barracks should not be misconstrued as attempt to kill mr GOC! He should not take it too personal that his orders were not understood by these men who were affected by the fog of war! Maybe the trial officers are taking the drugs we expect them to give to the boys so they can face boko haram without fear or favor but if this case is appealed and gets before a competent civilian court, the judgement will be thrown into the dust-bin where it belongs. 6 Likes 1 Share |

Think you can just join the military and do any how? Being in the military comes with some responsibilities. It is funny sha, hardly have any soldier been court martialed for maltreating a civilian, ogas at the top are protecting themselves. |

Re: Convicted Soldiers Deserve To Die — Ex-generals by Nobody: 6:25am On Sep 21, 2014 |
Mutiny in the world over alway's attract's the death penalty. I think if the judgement is carried out it will go along way in maintaining army descipline. God forbid just imagine soldier's abadon their duty post or refuse to take order's when bh are trying to take a place like maiduguri. They would have delibrately put more than 2million civilian's at the mercy of bokoharam due to their indescipline. But In recent times the army has been hit by lot's of controversie's and by executing this soldie'r's it would cause a lot of uproar. And even considering the fact that their commanding officer was left to go scot free even when it was glaring that he was the cause of the mutiny. I think the death sentence should just be commuted to lengthy jail term's in other to deter other's from following the part of these mutineer's. 1 Like |

What is the evidence they "mutined"? So each time soldiers say "Oga, we no gree", it is mutiny? Bullet proof cars have bullet mark. We all saw Buhari's bomb proof car with scars to show projectile hit it. The prosecution's inability to present the car as evidence flaws their presentation. Photographs are not admissible in a capital case. When photographs are to be accepted, they have to be taken with film roll cameras. Digital video evidence is a no-no.Digital photographs can be easily doctored for an unsuspecting audience. the "military intelligence" judge erred t have admitted photographs and hearsay from the GOC, LT col emmanuel and the RSM who could not backup their verbal accounts with any hard evidence. How can you say they "mutined" when you cannot even prove conspiracy? These guys work for us civilians, we should not let them descend to depravity! We should hold them to a higher standard of conduct and accountability. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Christian and southern soldiers uncover plots by muslim general to betray them to bokoharam, they were sentenced to death.little wonder it takes the grace of God for a christain to make it through the Nigerian Defence Academy while muslims plan and protect themselves through. During muslim fasting NDA is usually peacefull, but during christain fasting before easter NDA is usually on fire(shake up). Well ...... |

God bless the MilitaryI can't really blame these people sha..they have a life to live and they can't imagine being butchered by an islamic sect. Its not even like the government will take care of their families after their death. Many of them are poorly equiped and yet, still sent into the war front. They had no choice but to think twice. Some military officials once said it, "give us good weapons and we'll fight boko haram with our whole heart". |
