On delivering judgement, president of the court, Lt. col. Adamu Hassan Jahum said that,the accused soldiers have been found guilty of charges against them and therefore sentenced, in order to ensure maintenance of discipline in the ongoing operation and in the Nigerian Army in general.This is such a drastic act by soldiers of the Nigerian Army.

This is not good for the media,as civilians are relying on us for defense and protection. He further stated,”We are men’t to protect the linage of this great nation and not to drag it to the mud”. We will make sure proper justice is carried out according to the law.
