A batch of 22 army officers is set to be court-martialed in Lagos in
connection with recent military failures in the northeast of Nigeria.
The court, set up by the Major General Tibi, the General Officer
Commanding the 81 Division of the Nigerian army, will take place at
the Officer’s mess of the Military Cantonment in Ikeja. The five-man
panel will be headed by Brigadier-General CO Ayara. A batch of 22 army officers is set to be court-martialed in Lagos in connection

The court, set up by the Major General Tibi, the General Officer Commanding the
81 Division of the Nigerian army, will take place at the Officer’s mess of the
Military Cantonment in Ikeja. The five-man panel will be headed by Brigadier-
General CO Ayara.
In the dock will be mainly those officers recently alleged to have abandoned the
frontline of the military operations in Adamawa State as Boko Haram militants
invaded Mubi and overran Vimtim, the hometown of the Chief of Defense Staff,
Alex Badeh. It is alleged that the officers did not lift a finger against the
insurgents.
SaharaReporters investigations about the officers facing trial indicate that the
suspects include:
• Colonel Victor Ebhaleme, who briefly acted as the Brigade Commander of
the 23rd Brigade in Yola;
• Lt. Colonel AO Agwu, who was the commander of the soldiers from the 234
battalion that fled Mubi on October 29;
• Captain S Raymond, who was the officer commanding and platoon leader of
the Vimtim team guarding the home town of the CDS. He is alleged to have
fled with his team as Boko Haram invaded Vimtim on October 28; and
• Lt. Col A A Egbejule, who allegedly burnt several brand new armored tanks
as the insurgents overwhelmed his team in a fierce fight between Bassa and
Michika; he reportedly fled afterward.
The officers had been in various military police detention centers before their
arraignment today in Lagos.
Their arraignment follows the death sentence passed on 59 soldiers by a
military court at the Mogadishu barracks in Abuja last week. The condemned
soldiers were moved into a military detention facility in Apapa Lagos yesterday;
they have not been fed since arriving, they are being held at an underground
detention facility according to our sources.
Several of the officers have denied the charges against them, claiming that
inadequate equipment and high-level corruption at the top of the military
hierarchy are largely responsible for their inability to properly engage Boko Harm
militants.
Meanwhile, some 2000 troops accused of abandoning the battlefront in
Adamawa are currently sequestered in Jos awaiting transfer to their different
units where they will also be court-martialed for various offenses. The soldiers,
who were brought in from Yola, are being held under inhumane conditions at
the Maxwell Khobe Cantonment at the 3rd division of the Nigerian army in Jos.
The soldiers are mostly from 234 battalion, 116 battalion, Army HQ Team ‘A”
and 213 battalion.
They remain in Jos subjected to grueling manual labor, denied their allowances
while they await repatriation to their respective units to face further disciplinary
action.
SaharaReporters learned that another set of 199 soldiers have been taken to
Abuja to face court martial in the next few weeks.
At today’s arraignment of officers in Ikeja, some of the military judges were
absent thereby forcing the court to adjourn commencement of trial till January
16, 2015. Prominent Nigerian human rights activist , Femi Falana, will act as
defense attorney to several of the officers.

Why is it that Army matters gives you erection!

That's how you uttered that poo from your gutter smelling mouth about those guys sentenced to death.

I know your type - forming rambo on faceless forum but when u hear the sound of hunters gun u will tear your legs apart in your haste to escape the scene - talk less of AK!

Your type thinks that being a soldier is all about irons & bones! In civilized clime, the first rule of being a soldier is - you are first and foremost a human and all your deeds and actions must be adjudged to be humane by all standards even when dealing with a dangerous enemy!
