The Nigerian military will soon court-martial over 100 army personnel, a senior military official has said.
The senior military official told our reporter on Tuesday that the affected officers would be tried for various offences in relation to the counter-terrorism operation in the North-East.
According to the military source, the soldiers have been transported from Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, to Abuja to face the charges which have not been made known.
This comes a week after 54 soldiers were sentenced to death by firing squad for refusing to fight the Boko Haram terrorist group.
When contacted, the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade, said there was nothing to worry about court-martial because it’s a regular occurence in the military, as a tool for discipline.
On Wednesday, December 17, 2014, the Nigerian Army’s 7 division General Court Martial convicted 54 soldiers for conspiracy to commit mutiny and sentenced them to death by firing squad
