December 23, 2014 – Not less than 100 soldiers have been transported from Maiduguri to Abuja where they are expected to be court-marshaled for various offences.
According to Channels TV, the offence for which they will be tried is not yet known but sources say it may not be unconnected with cowardice in the ongoing prosecution of war against Boko Haram.
This is coming barely a week after 54 soldiers were sentenced to death by firing squad for refusing to fight members of the radical Islamic sect, Boko Haram who have unleashed mayhem on Nigerians.
The top military hierarchy had blamed inability to root out the sect on enemies within who are leaking strategic information to members of the sect.
