Taraba Police Killings: Army To Court-Martial Soldiers In Jos
The Nigerian Army has concluded preparations to move soldiers, who may be charged by the Defence Headquarters’ Joint Investigative Panel’s report, to the 3-Division headquarters, Jos, Plateau State, for General Court Martial.
The joint panel, headed by Rear Admiral Ibikunle Olaiya which probed the killing of three policemen and one civilian by some soldiers in Ibi, Taraba State, is expected to submit its report to the Chief of the Defence Staff, General Abayomi Olonisakin today, Monday.
The Defence Headquarters panel concluded its assignment on Friday after sitting for three days at the Defence Intelligence Agency, Abuja, during which it interrogated soldiers, policemen, civilians and the suspected kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Wadume.
The Police had last Monday rearrested the Taraba kidnap kingpin, Hamisu Wadume at a hideout in the Layin Mai Allo Hotoro area of Kano State, who made revelations implicating the officer and soldiers in Ibi.
