Five Senior Army officers and 10 other soldiers are to appear before a military court martial in Kaduna today for alleged involvement in illegal sale of arms and ammunition.
The court martial set up by the Army high command to try some of its officers and soldiers involved in the illegal sale of arms and ammunition.
The accused officers to appear before the court martial set up by the Army high command, include, Colonels R.O.Yusuf, Gadgere, Lieutenant-Colonel Wesley as well as Majors M.K. Ahmed and A. S. Akubo. They were alleged to have connived with some soldiers, among them a sergeant, two corporals, six lance-corporals and one private to steal arms and ammunitions, equipment and other military accoutrements worth billions of naira in one of the ordinance depots in the country.
This article addresses the trial that began against five Senior Army officers and ten other soldiers for "alleged involvement in illegal sales of arms and ammunition." This is an attempt to end the corrupt practices that have consumed the Army in Nigeria prior to the new Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Luka Nyem Yusuf taking office. This shows the new government policy that President Umaru Yar'Adua has implemented to end the corruption that has consumed Nigeria for so many years.
