Harddiskng:


So you can see at the bolden you having been clamoring that an evil man is innocent faa

Wheel-chair ko, even the way he is seated on it, it is obvious there is nothing wrong with him.

Psady:
How do you know if he's his tribesman when he said he knows someone close to the general ? Stop this attack game in disguise .

aariwa:
What I heard about the story was that they had been moving money meant for arms against boko haram , illegally in raw cash to avoid trace or any records . They were using young soldiers because they thought the young soldiers were mugu and didn’t know what was transported not knowing the young soldiers had already perfected plans to escape with the money until the day they escaped . Till today nobody knows the country those young soldiers went to . That money was actually in billions and dollar was three hundred and something then to naira . The military authorities downplayed it from several billions to just 400 million due to the outrage it would have created in the media and questions Nigerians would have asked about buhari anti corruption stance

wirinet:

Believe me, he did not need to steal the N400 million as A G.O.C. Can't you see that he was brought in a wheel chair? Do do know the amount of torture he had endured before being brought to the court marshall? How many soldiers had admitted to planning coups they knew nothing of after being set up and brought before military court marshall.
Otiki was already balling in Abuja when he was ADC to General Diya.

In addition:
Listen to the report well, he was never accused of physically stealing the money. Money that was to be used for projects under his supervision was stolen in transit by 4 Corporal officers under his command. Added to that he was accused of misappropriation of funds. Now ask yourself, where are the 4 corporals, and why are they not at the court marshall?
Also note that at the end of the report, it says that there was already a frosty relationship between Lt General Adeosun , the head of the court marshall and Major General Otiki.

Forkthiefnubu:

You know am saying the truth , the tribal thing is so so ingrained in you guys DNA that it is a way of life and a norm , a political philosophy, all the sympathies for the guy is based on his tribal affiliations

Objectivist04:

@ your last sentence, you mean Yoruba vs to Yoruba exposing themselves but I was made to believe that you guys love yourselves.

wirinet:
He was set up. He did not need to physically steal money. As a G.O.C, he had lots of money at his disposal to run the division. Ordinary Commanding officers of barracks have millions to play around with, not to talk of a whole G.OC.

His junior brother was my class mate at the University, so I knew the story when it happened on a personal level.

GoodSpirit:



You need the story from their own perspective and you heard from the tribunal which then will you believe? You will be naive not to know that all military commanders are corrupt in Nigeria, if you have Access to what they all do you won't type this.

Goodvibes007:
This man was dismissed in July 2020. Almost 4 years ago.

That's why Nairaland rule 14 tells you to search before creating a topic.

the set up junior officers under you to set you up. If the target had been nice to junior officers, the junior officers would either alert the oga or fail to carry out the sabotage,

fidelmarshal199:


So you believe his junior brother will implicate his brother? What bout the properties traced to him in Abuja? He was setup with that too? Your thinking faculty is vague bro

GreaterFuture:

So what happens to these Junior officers?? As they obviously part of the setup and will be dismissed too?
Since they are in on it too, and will be put in front of the military Tribunal...


(I think I can guess how the whole scenario or thing plays, but, I wanna hear you...)

I am not exonorating him from misappropriation and official corruption. That's a feature of all other Nigerian office holders, as I have said earlier. What I am questioning is the main allegations that he stole physical cash being transported in the course of his duties as G.OC. 8 div.

I have a distance cousin who retired as a commodore. He made bastard money in his last duty post. His colleagues attempted to set him up by asking his boys to break into the armory and steal expensive weaponry. Luckily he was very generous and humane with boys under him. It was these boys under him thar alerted him and told him to put double security at the armory. At the end of the day, the plot failed. Immediately they promoted one of his main rivals to a position to oversee his own command, he put in his resignation letter, as he did not want to take chances. Today he is living big.

The politics within the military is deadly.

Forumites:
What happens to jail, so the money don go like that.?

It's sad, that people accusing others of tribalism are the actual tribal bigots, who look at every issue from tribal tinted lenses.
I am asking you guys to look at the whole report using your God given senses but you guys are shout tribalism, just because of your hatred of the tribe of the accused. Meanwhile if the General was from their own tribe, they would play the victim card.
For your information, I am not Yoruba. I have criticised Yorubas, igbos and Fulanis here when they do wrong. I am talking about this case because I was very close to the junior brother of the General, and so had some privileged information when the matter was trending. I have never supported corruption, even from my fellow tribesmen.

wirinet:


Till today they were never found. They disappeared into thin air with the money.

there are countless of upright people holding offices with dignity and professionalism[/b]

arantess:

You go explain taya...
Always defending thieves, like minded criminals

fidelmarshal199:


Can you elaborate on how your cousin made the "bastard money" on his last duty post.

A thief is a thief. You must be part of the people justifying how Betta Edu was ratted out.
