A special court martial of the Nigerian Army has discharged and acquitted the 57 soldiers who were charged with losing their weapons and going on an Absence Without Official Leave, AWOL while battling Boko Haram insurgents last year.
In December 2014, the soldiers were charged with conspiracy to commit mutiny after their revolt led to the death of some of their colleagues in a duel with insurgents.
The court martial, which sat at the Army Headquarters Garrison in Abuja, however convicted 15 other accused soldiers sentencing them to one year prison sentences each.
Wow! Such great news, I am so happy for the Soldiers.
