Ongoing court martials against Nigerian soldiers have been dissolved, according to a PUNCH report.
Reports say officers and soldiers involved are expected to report at the Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna, for the screening exercise.
The new Chief of Staff, Maj. – Gen. Tukur Buratai, has also begun the process of reviewing cases of soldiers dismissed from service as a result of alleged acts of cowardice, insubordination, mutiny and related allegations.
A committee has been set up to review all the cases involving some soldiers who had either been convicted or still facing trial in the three General Military Courts Martial in Kaduna, Lagos and Abuja.
The committee which would begin sitting on August 7, would sit for 25 days for a holistic re-visitation of the cases involved in the operation.
The Army’s Acting Director, Public Relations, Col. Sani Umar, said the Army was reviewing “all recent disciplinary cases due to wave of litigations by some aggrieved personnel.”
Umar said the directive didn’t mean a total recall of dismissed and deserter soldiers.
