The 7th Division General Court Martial sitting in Maiduguri has sentenced a trooper, Azunna Mmadu-Abuchi, to death by firing squad for killing an officer, Lt. Babakaka Ngorgi.<\/p>\n

Delivering judgment on Tuesday, the President of the Court, Brig. Gen. Arikpo Ekubi, said the prosecutor has proved his case beyond reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally shot and killed Ngorgi, who was the Adjutant of 212 Battalion, Bama.<\/p>\n

Ekubi said, \u201cYou intentionally opened fire and empty your magazine of nine rounds of ammunition on the deceased officer, Lt. Babakaka Ngorgi, who was the Adjutant of 212 Battalion, Bama, which led to his instant death.<\/p>\n

“You betrayed the trust and confidence reposed on you by the Nigerian Army to ensure dignity and respect for human life.<\/p>

“Your action is therefore viewed with displeasure and as affront to efforts of the present leadership of Nigerian Army which emphasised the protection of human rights and professionalism in the discharge of its constitutional roles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

“While condemning your action of unlawfully killing the deceased officer in a gruesome manner, this court consider the plea in mitigation punishment by your counsel, the General Court Martial takes cognisance of all your counsel has said and the fact that you are involved in the Theatre of Operation.<\/p>\n

“However, the gravity of the crime that you have committed against the innocent officer which by application is a crime against humanity and an attempt to drag the good name of Nigerian Army into mud must be sanctioned appropriately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
