Army Sentences Soldier To Death For Manslaughter, Others life imprisonment by stephanie11: 3:17pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
@POLITICSNGR The Nigerian army, on Friday, announced that a court-martial has handed down death and life imprisonment sentences to some soldiers for Manslaughter. Below is a press release obtained by PoliticsNGR signed by the Deputy Director 7 Division Army Public Relations, Kingsley Mfon Samuel; "The General Court Martial (GCM) sitting in Maiduguri, Borno State has sentenced a soldier serving in Operation LAFIYA DOLE to death for murder. Other soldiers also bagged jail sentences for various offences ranging from manslaughter to illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. The soldier, Lance Corporal John Godwin, was charged with murder, which is punishable under Section 106 (a) of Armed Forces Acts (Cap A20), Laws of the Federation of Nigeria (LFN) 2004, for killing five rescued civilians in Yamteke town of Borno State. The civilians were earlier rescued by troops of the soldier's battalion and were taken for investigation at the time the soldier shot and killed 5 of them. Another soldier, Sergeant Innocent Ototo, was sentenced to life imprisonment for manslaughter after torturing and killing a 13-year-old boy who he said stole his phone. The incident happened at Zamanbari area of Maiduguri metropolis in Borno State. While Lance Corporal Benjamin Osage and Private Sunday Onwe were also sentenced to 20 years imprisonment each for offences bordering on manslaughter and illegal possession of firearms and ammunition. Delivering the judgement, the President of the Court Martial, Brigadier General Gbenga Olusegun Adesina, said that the offences run contrary to Nigerian Army’s Rules of Engagement (ROE) and also against Nigerian Laws and Geneva Conventions which Nigeria is signatory to and which the Nigerian Army as a professional Army holds in high esteem. You are please requested to disseminate this information to the general public through your medium." https://politicsngr.com/2017/12/15/nigerian-army-sentences-soldiers-death-manslaughter-photos/ 2 Likes 2 Shares

I hope other Nigerians and the police will learn from this. Why should you kill innocent lives that you're paid salaries to protect? You see bokoboyz you run for your dear life, now the armless 13 years old boy be your target. Mtsww 42 Likes 3 Shares |

Nigeria Army sef Kizyte: If you can actually prove that any biafran protester was killed, investigations will definitely be carried out. And note that obituary posters and pictures of dead people are not proofs of anything. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Army Sentences Soldier To Death For Manslaughter, Others life imprisonment by BafanaBafana: 5:10pm On Dec 15, 2017 |
hakeem4:I know. That is not the problem. The problem is that Nigeria doesn't have a strong army. Any army that delights in flexing muscles on and oppressing defenseless civilians will find it almost impossible to face and conquer any armed group, Idi Amin and Saddam can testify to that. Also besides firing long range missiles, carrying out aeriel bombardment and hiding behind big armoured vehicles, our army can't do shit! If the Chadian army decides, they can overrun Nigeria in less than a week. 5 Likes |

sars shud get such room trial also and they should all be setenced to death by bullet force. they should introduce freestyle escape sniper kind of thing. where those sentenced to death should be two in an open field of about 400meters. sniper behind them about 2000metres. then allow them escape in the open field to an open gate at the other end.whoever makes it out alive ..cheats death. the sniper must be the best in town. i spit on u bastards soldiers. fools 2 Likes |
