Nigerian Army, on Wednesday , interred
the remains of Lance Corporal Benjamin
Collins , who was tortured to death by three
senior officers at the Mogadishu Barracks ,

Expressway by soldiers from the Army
Headquarters Garrison Battalion .
The funeral was attended by his mother , Mrs
Kate Dioma ; uncle , Justice Daniel Isiagor of the
Federal High Court ; lawyer , Dr Johnson

Army Staff , Lt. Gen . Tukur Buratai .
The national flag was presented to the
deceased ’ s mother by Lt. Col. S . Shuaibu on
behalf of the President , Major General
Muhammadu Buhari (retd . ).

deceased , thanked the COAS and the Army
Headquarters Garrison Battalion for approving

A general court martial had in February
sentenced Majors Akeem Oseni and Ogbemudia

10 years ’ imprisonment for torturing Collins to
death .
The officers were found guilty of manslaughter

from a guardroom at Mogadishu Barracks to a
bush near the Ihejirika Quarters along the
Abuja - Nyanya Expressway , where he was
assaulted while in handcuffs and leg chains.
Collins , who hailed from Rivers State , died after
the assault , which took place on February 23 ,
2017 , and his corpse was deposited in Asokoro
General Hospital morgue .
After the incident , the officers reported to their
superiors that Collins , who was held for over
two years for travelling to Lagos to see his sick
aunt without official permission, had escaped
from custody . ,
