Nigeria soldiers face death for mutiny

[Immortal_MH]

The revolt happened in May after soldiers were ordered to drive in area frequently attacked by Boko Haram


Twelve found guilty of attacking commander after convoy ambush in Boko Haram - controlled area. A dozen Nigerian soldiers have been sentenced to death for mutiny and the attempted murder of their commanding officer after their comrades were ambushed by the armed group Boko Haram.

In a decision announced early on Tuesday , a military tribunal in Abuja found 12 soldiers of the 7 th Division guilty and five others innocent . All the accused denied the charges. The executions will be carried out by firing squad. The revolt happened on May13 after soldiers were ordered to drive at night a road frequently attacked by Boko Haram.

The soldiers initially refused, saying it was a suicide mission . They eventually followed orders , and were ambushed . The convoy was driving from Chibok , the northeastern town from which more than 270 girls and women were abducted from a school a month earlier.

The bodies of the dead were brought to northeastern city of Maiduguri , leading to a demand by colleagues to speak to the 7 th Division 's commanding officer , Amadu Mohammed.

They threw stones and shot at him, witnesses said. The officer took refuge in an armoured vehicle and was unharmed. Brigadier general Chukwuemeka Okonkwo , the court martial president, said the sentences were subject to confirmation by Nigeria 's military authorities but said there was no doubt about the gravity of the offence.

The panel considered " its likely effect on the counter - insurgency operations in the northeast as well as its implications on national security " , he told the court.

Nigeria 's army has been under pressure to end the bloody five - year rebellion that has claimed thousands of lives , made tens of thousands of others homeless and seen the militants make territorial gains in the northeast in recent weeks.

But front - line troops have frequently complained of a lack of adequate weapons and equipment to fight the better armed rebels, while there have also been reports that troops have not been paid or received proper food supplies.

Wanajeshi 12 kunyongwa Nigeria

Wanajeshi kumi na wawili nchini Nigeria wamepewa adhabu ya kifo kwa uasi pamoja na jaribio la mauji.

Hii ni baada ya kumfyatuliwa bunduki afisa mkuu anayeongoza operesheni ya kupambana dhidi ya kundi haramu la kiislamu la Boko Haram kati mji wa Maiduguri,kaskazini Mashariki mwa nchi, mwezi wa Mei.

Wanajeshi wengine watano waliachiliwa baada ya ushahidi kukosekana.

Wanajeshi hao 12 walipatikana na hatia ya kumfyatulia risasi Jemedari amadu Mohammed.

Wanajeshi hao walikasirishwa na kamanda wao ambaye walimlaumu kwa kukataa kuchukua hatua baada ya msafara wao kushambuliwa.

Jeshi la Nigeria limeshindwa kuwashinda Boko Haram na wanajeshi wamekuwa wakilalamika kuwa kila wanapokabiliana na wapiganaji wa Boko Haram hawana silaha za kutosha kukabiliana nao.

Wote walikana mashtaka hayo katika Mahakama ya kijeshi mjini Abuja.

Mahakama ya kijeshi ya watu tisa ilisikiza kuwa tukio hilo lilitendeka baada ya kufyatuliwa kwa risasi kwa afisa mkuu wa kitengocha 7 cha jeshi la Nigeria.

Ilimbidi Generali Amadu Mohammed kujificha walipomlenga na bunduki zao.

Hata hivyo, hakuumia.

Kiongozi wa mahakama Chukwuemeka Okonkwoalisema kuwa hata kama hukumu hizi zilikuwa chini ya udhibitisho wa mamlaka ya jeshi la Nigeria, hakukuwa na shaka juu ya uzito wa kosa hilo.

Mwezi uliyopita, kundi la wanajeshi kaskazini masharikimwa Nigeria walikataa kupambana na Boko Haram mpaka wapatiwe vifaa bora, mmoja wao aliiambia BBC.
