Death sentences passed on 66 Nigerian soldiers for mutiny, other charges, reduced to 10 years imprisonment each

The death sentences by firing squad passed on 66 soldiers in January and March 2015 by separate General Court Martials have been commuted to 10 years imprisonment each. A statement released on Saturday, December 19, by the Acting Director Army Public Relations Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman reads;

 

"It will be recalled that 71 soldiers were arraigned on several charges in joint trials. The soldiers were arraigned on several count charges that include Criminal Conspiracy, Conspiracy to commit mutiny, Mutiny, Attempt to Commit an Offence (Murder), Disobedience to Particular Orders, Insubordinate Behaviour and False Accusation, amongst others.

 

They were tried, discharged on some charges but found guilty and convicted on other charges which included mutiny. Out of the number, 66 were found guilty on some of the count charges and sentenced to death, while 5 were discharged and acquitted and 1 was given 28 days Imprisonment with Hard Labour (IHL).

 

However, following series of petitions, the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Tukur Yusufu Buratai, ordered a legal review of the cases. The directive was carried out to examine the merit of each case. It was on the basis of the review and recommendations that the Chief of Army Staff commuted the death sentences of the 66 soldiers to 10 years jail term. The sentences are to run concurrently. 

 

The cases of other soldiers are being reviewed and will be made public once the appropriate reviews are completed.

Football: ‘I Could Have Won Five Golden Boots In A Row But Chose Not To’

Thierry Henry has played down his natural ability as a goal-scorer, but insists he could have won five Golden Boots in a row had he been more selfish.

Arsenal’s record scorer – and in the eyes of many, greatest ever player – was the Premier League’s top scorer in four out of five seasons between 2001 and 2006.

The only time he missed out on the gong was in 2002/03, when Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy pipped him to it.

The Dutchman scored 25 league goals that season while Henry scored 24 and assisted 23.

The World Cup winning Frenchman insists he could have won it that year too, but chose not to.

“I was a player that scored goals – I wasn’t a goal-scorer,” Henry told ShortList.

“I was making passes. I could have won five Golden Boots in a row. But, in 2003, in the last game versus Sunderland, I gave Freddie [Ljungberg] three goals.

“I’m battling with Ruud van Nistelrooy but I gave him three goals. Is that the sign of a guy that wants to win the Golden Boot?”

He added:

“I’m more proud of my assists than my goals. I’ve said it many times. I gave people penalties. With Edu [Gaspar], I gave him a penalty in his last league game [in which Henry himself didn’t score]. I was fighting with James Beattie, but that was better than winning the Golden Boot.

“If I had to score a goal, I’d score a goal. If I had to make a pass, I’d make a pass. I try to do the right thing at the right time.”
