MAIDUGURI — Theatre Commander of the Joint Taskforce North-East Operation Hadin Kai, Maj. Gen. Christopher Musa, inaugurated the general and special court-martials at the Maimalari Cantonment in Maiduguri, Borno State.
Musa added that the court would deal only with matters pertaining directly to regimentation, discipline, efficiency and morale of military personnel.
According to Musa, 28 officers and 130 soldiers face trials for offences bordering on alleged professional misconduct.
Members of the panels are Maj. Gen. Bainze Mohammed, Brig. Gen Dominic Udofa, Squadron Leader Audu Satomi and Lt. Col. Rotimi Bakari.
“To maintain the armed forces in a state of readiness, the military as an institution must be ready to enforce internal discipline effectively in accordance with the extant laws.”
“The military has its code of service discipline to meet its peculiar disciplinary needs. In this regard, emphasis shall be laid on statute laws and the traditional military regimentation with due adherence to the fair hearing requirements as enshrined in the Constitution of the federal republic of Nigeria as amended,” he said.
Musa said the safety and well-being of Nigerians depended considerably on the willingness and readiness of members of the Armed Forces to defend the nation against threats to national security.
