try 97 soldiers, including 15 senior officers, for mutiny related
offences.
It will be recalled that nine-member military Court Martial, had
already found the 15 senior soldiers guilty of insubordinate
behaviour, use of abusive language, leveling false accusation against
their superior officers, among others.
They were similarly found guilty of attempting to kill their erstwhile
General Officer Commanding 7 Division, Major General Ahmed Mohammed by
shooting at his official car, between May 13 and 14, 2014. The car was
bullet proof.
The court also found them guilty of preventing the movement of some of
their injured colleagues to hospital and obstructing evacuation of
their dead ones who were killed in ambush on their way from an
operation in Chibok, Borno State.
The incident took place at the Maimalari Barracks, Maiduguri in the
course of the ongoing counter insurgency campaign.
