Army sets up another court-martial to try erring soldiers

The Nigerian Army has concluded arrange­ment to set up another court-martial to try some of its erring officers and soldiers.It was also gathered that the affected officers and soldiers have duly been informed about the court-martial in official letters delivered to them last Thursday.

The army authorities were said to have advised the af­fected officers and soldiers to make arrangement for their le­gal counsel to defend them on the charges slammed on them.

Sources hinted that even though members of the court-martial would be officially inaugurated tomorrow, the court would not sit until after about two weeks because of the public holidays declared by the Federal Government for the Sallah celebrations.

Daily Sun gathered that similar court-martial was go­ing on at various divisions and units of the Nigerian Army across the country for various offences including indiscipline, information leakage to ter­rorists, failure to advance and perform military duties, acts of cowardice, negligence and other attitudes unbecoming of soldiers.
