The 12 soldiers
have been sentenced to die by firing squad after shooting at the GOC in
Maidugri .They were said to be aggrieved due to the conditions under which they
were facing and lost it after a group of soldiers were ambushed and killed by
Boko Haram.
“The GOC’s
visit coincided with the arrival of the corpses of soldiers killed in an ambush
in Chibok on the night of May 13, 2014.The apparently agitated soldiers, on
sighting the corpses of their slain colleagues became hysteric. Some opened
fire on the GOC, who was lucky to have escaped unhurt. However, the bullets hit
and seriously injured some of his bodyguards, who also fled to safety,”
They were
found guilty of criminal conspiracy, mutiny, attempt to commit murder (shooting
of the vehicle of the GOC); insubordination to a particular order;
insubordination and false accusation...
do think is an extreme punishment
