Army Officers Found Guilty of Aiding Boko Haram

Following the alarm raised by the Nigerian Army and the Defence headquarters, more than 15 senior military officers including 10 generals have been tried and found guilty of giving information and ammunition to members of the dreaded Islamist sect- Boko Haram. This was made known on Monday by a high ranking military source who pleaded anonymity because he was not obligated to disclose detailed information about the development. It was gathered that the Army and the Defence headquarters had alleged that some of their officers and men were giving vital official information to Boko Haram members. The allegation, however, brought about the arrest and arraignment of some officers who were court-martial in the army divisions in the northern part of the country. According to the source, some of the apprehended officers and men were being tried at their various division levels, adding that they still have a lot of hope until the final review of their judgment at the army headquarters in Abuja.
