They have right to an attorney or a lawyer as the case may be. Free trial is needed on this one

1.) May God run your Life the way GEJ is
running this country.
2.) May God give u and your family the kind of
peace GEJ gives to this country.
3.) May God subsidize your blessings the way
Jonathan subsidized the Nigerian Oil.
4.) May God secure u and your entire family the
way GEJ secures this country. As a Good
supporter of GEJ all u have to do is to type"
Amen" and disgrace the ‘Misinformed’ General
public that he is God Sent.
Be brave to type Amen b4 you start d insult

Good move on the part of the SAN

.

This guy jst wants publicity and fame jare. You can't sue the army over their own matter. Anyways, now that he has been known, hope he gets more customers/clients

.

if u check well u will even discover that dey are all frpm d south-South region making dem unqualified for fair hearing
...
it really beats my imagination how dia soldiers where sentenced to swarh by firing ...its really unfair
at least we can consider life imprisonment

those soldiers deserved to be given medals

I don't think he can effect any change on this issue in that army has its code of conduct which these sentenced guys violated.

Austindark:
is true let them at least be allowed a fair hearing. is the natural right.

not even now that we are deficient of soldiers.

I know gej will intervene favorably, he is a good man

It's not "is"...

Thank me later

thank God,a Nigerian with action not talk talk alone and peaceful protest

This case should be thoroughly looked into. Yes! The troops opened fire in the presence of the General Officer's Commanding out of their own volition, but the circumstances that led to their activities of protest should constitute what is known as assisted mutiny. Their fellow compatriots were sent on an expedition only to get surprised by the fact that BH had got wind of their route and Modus operandi, they were besieged, and murdered so cheaply that the troops in that unit could not but express their grievance by any other method than a protest.
Not only were they ill- equipped for the expedition, their health care benefits ( large enough to service the expenses of 3 ministries put together) was siphoned by few superior officers, they also detested the jettisoned policy of rotational operation in the deployment of troops to the troubled spots.
If they are deserving of the death sentence, what happens to the officers whose ineptitude assisted the circumstances that led to the said mutiny?

priscaoge:
The court should pardon those soldiers naaaa Since they decided to let those Boko Haramites Who surrendered to live,why can't they pardon our gallant soldiers Who fight day and night for the safety of the nation They shouldn't be denied their right. They should be allowed a fair hearing. It's their constitutional right!!!


Abi is it now a crime to be a soldier in this country

Mature response.

We need more of this. ...

sauceny:
I believe if those given the death sentence where found guilty shouldn't be pardoned.
I mean,the army isn't jst a unified body where you make your own decisions,being an army comes with much work of full dedication & commitment in protecting your country...

I think they should face the sentence passed upon them to serve as a deterrent to others trying to follow same part.

see wickedness.

Now someone is talking..i was thinkn everyone would keep silence and let it be swept under the carpet...4 God sake they were fightin 4 our dear country, deir lives were on the line!..nd the only way to repay them is a fair trial.

hw does gej come into the topic nw. Na people like you dey answer off point in exams. Abi must you comment?

prettyboi1989:
A former President of the Nigerian Bar Association, Olisa Agbakoba (SAN), has dragged the Nigerian Army before a Federal High Court in Abuja, challenging the death sentence passed by the military General Court Martial on 12 soldiers.

A nine-man GCM had on September 16, 2014, pronounced 12 Nigerian soldiers guilty of mutiny and consequently sentenced them to death by firing squad.
But Agbakoba, in a suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/708/2014, is contesting the legality of the military tribunal.

According to him, the composition of the GCM violated Section 36(1) of the 1999 Constitution, which preserves the right of an accused person to fair hearing.
The lawyer argued further that sections 133(3)(4) and (5) of the Armed Forces Act, which empowered the GCM, was null and void since it was inconsistent with section 36(1) of the 1999 Constitution.
In the affidavit in support of his suit, Agbakoba averred that it was unlawful for the Commander of the Army Headquarters Garrison, Mogadishu Cantonment, Brig. Gen. D.T. Ndiomu, to single-handedly appoint all the members of the military tribunal.

He said since all the members of the GCM were soldiers appointed by Ndiomu, the convicted soldiers were denied their right to independence and impartial trial.
The senior advocate said, “The independence and impartiality of the court martial was not secured in the trial of the soldiers. This is because all those who participated in the events related to the court martial were Army officers. They were the investigators, the prosecutors, the president, the judge advocate, the waiting member, and other members of the court martial.”

The suit filed under the Fundamental Rights (Enforcement Procedure) Rules 2009 is seeking, among other reliefs, “a declaration that the convening and composition of the Army General Court Martial which convicted and sentenced the 12 soldiers to death by firing squad for various offences on September 16, 2014 is contrary to Section 36(1) of the Constitution of the Nigeria, 1999.”
Agbakoba is praying the court to set aside the death sentence on the 12 soldiers.

I respect Agbakoba so I support his move against the fifth column

Nice move Olisa Agbokoba (SAN)..They should grant them fair hearing at least.

we refuse to believe or fight for your dirty cause, and you call it mutiny. how do we plead? not guilty.

"Under his mama bed"? Do you know Olisa Agbakoba at all? Do some research man, you'll find that OA has always stood up to oppression regardless if the regime in power. On topic, the soldiers are entitled to a free and fair trial and if the entire process of court martial needs to be repeated then so be it. Suit well in order !

If he had to wait for Olisa Agbakoba to sue instead of calling the favour as the GCFR then he has no iota of good.
