Well if this is for real,that means Nigerians are yet to discover more mules in the Army working hand in hand with Boko Haram,Facts emerging from the Nigerian Army Headquarters,
Abuja, yesterday indicated that the soldiers who fired at the vehicle of the
General Officer Commanding, the 7 Division in Maiduguri, Major-Gen. Ahmed
Abdullahi, will be court-martialed this weekend.
It was learnt
that a preliminary investigation had been concluded and the military high
command was set to try the soldiers.
The
investigation has already established the identity of the soldiers involved,
and the extent of their involvement in the alleged mutiny.
If they are
found guilty of the alleged offences, they may be dismissed and jailed, while
those with little involvement may be demoted.
It was also
learnt that soldiers have been complaining about poor welfare, low morale, poor
strategy, poor equipment and poor leadership, and that the Wednesday’s incident
followed a forced overnight trip that some soldiers were made to take, which
led to 12 deaths in the hands of Boko Haram who had laid an ambush for the
troops.
The former GOC
had instituted an inquiry himself, but he was overruled from Abuja and a new
inquiry was set up instead.
Military sources
had claimed that there was a growing “disloyalty” and “indiscipline” on the
Borno war front, and therefore such insubordination must be checked to prevent
a breakdown of order.
“We want to send a strong message to would-be
mutineers,” the source said.The attacked GOC,Gen Abdullahi,esacped unhurt in the incident and has since been redeployed for his own safety,because of the hostility of the soldiers
The new GOC is
Brigadier M.Y Ibrahim, who becomes the fourth commander since the creation of
the 7 Division last year.
Major-General
Obida Ethan was first, before Major-Gen. Unsaid Bindawa and then Mohammed.
Meanwhile, nine
serving generals in the Nigerian Army and other senior military officers are
now under investigation for their alleged role in the sale of arms to members
of the Boko Haram sect.
They have also
been fingered in the movement of weapons and army armouries in some northern
states.
