Nigerian Army to court martial 130 soldiers, 28 officers for misconduct
A total of 158 military personnel comprising 130 soldiers and 28 officers are to face a court martial for offences bordering on alleged professional misconduct.
Inaugurated Saturday at the Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri by the Theatre Commander of the Joint Task Force “Operation Hadin Kai”, Christopher Musa, members of the panel include Bainze Mohammed, Dominic Udofa, Audu Satomi, and Rotimi Bakari.
Mr Musa said to keep the military in a state of readiness, the leadership must be ready to enforce internal discipline effectively, in accordance with extant laws.
He explained that court martial trials are regimental and judicial exercises, which may review, reduce or remove the rights and privileges of any convicted service personnel.
Mr Musa said the court deals with matters pertaining directly to regimentation, discipline, efficiency and morale of military personnel, with the court martial backed by law.
