Inaugurating the court proccedings in Port Harcourt, General Officer Commanding (GOC) Army 6 Division, Port Harcourt, Maj.-Gen. Jamil Sarham said the suspects were officers and soldiers of the division.
“The offences for which the accused persons are being tried range from murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, desertion.
“Others are offences in relation to public and service property, disobedience to standing orders and conducts to the prejudice to service discipline.
“All the offences are punishable under the Armed Forces Act CAP A20 Law of the Federation of Nigeria 2004,” he said.
The GOC said the army has zero tolerance to indiscipline, adding that it would never shield any personnel, no matter how highly placed from the law.
He said the armed forces holds personnel in high esteem and as such would not put personnel on trial unless the matter was thoroughly investigated.
According to him, the trial was not only aimed at prosecuting the suspects but to discourage others from indulging in criminality.
“To this end, each accused person was thoroughly investigated to ensure that an innocent person is not wrongly tried and punished.
“The headqurters 6 division has painstakingly selected credible officers with indepth knowledge and oustanding experience of military law and duties as members of the court martial to ensure fair hearing and justice,” NAN quoted him as saying.
Sarham urged the seven-man court martial panel led by its President, Brig.-Gen. Bassey Etuk, to ensure that the accused persons are given fair trail.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the accused personnel are made up of three officers and 11 soldiers including a major, two captians, two staff sergeants and one sergeant among other ranks.
