43
00:04:19,800 –> 00:04:27,079
Major General or Niema Umachuku, the
Nigerian Army Public Relations Officer, in

44
00:04:27,160 –> 00:04:31,560
a statement few hours ago, said
the Nigerian Army in NA has noted the

45
00:04:31,720 –> 00:04:39,800
appalling misinformation being circulated by an online
media platform that Song allegedly agreed soldiers who

46
00:04:39,800 –> 00:04:45,639
were recently arranged before a court martial
in eighty two. Religion NGO expressed concern

47
00:04:45,720 –> 00:04:50,079
god there was a deliberate effort to
convict soldiers of southern extraction while those from

48
00:04:50,199 –> 00:04:57,160
Northern Nigeria were allowed to go free. Contrary to the mistlining report being circulated

49
00:04:57,240 –> 00:05:00,680
to cause disseremony within the NA and
by extension, the Armed Forces of Nigeria

50
00:05:01,120 –> 00:05:05,560
AFN, the NA wishes to clarify
and on equivocally abroad, that the report

51
00:05:05,639 –> 00:05:11,800
is entirely bereaved of any strand of
truth and ultimately disparaging the current leadership of

52
00:05:11,839 –> 00:05:15,600
the NA in particular and the af
and in general. Using the instrumentality of

53
00:05:15,639 –> 00:05:21,519
ethnic and religious bigotry. Notably,
the composition of the Court Martial was not

54
00:05:21,720 –> 00:05:28,199
based on regional representation. Rather,
the membership of the court was diverse,

55
00:05:28,600 –> 00:05:32,959
with personnel drawn from various regions of
the country. It is exigent to note

56
00:05:33,000 –> 00:05:38,519
that the President of the Court Martial
is of Northern extraction, while the Judge

57
00:05:38,560 –> 00:05:44,680
Advocate is from the South. Additionally, sixty percent of the Court martionial numbers

58
00:05:44,720 –> 00:05:50,000
are of Southern extraction, demonstrating a
far and balanced representation. Even though religion

59
00:05:50,120 –> 00:05:56,279
and ethnicity are not mutual focal criteria
in the decision making process of the NA,

60
00:05:57,079 –> 00:06:01,000
the decision of a Court Marshal is
collective and based on evidence presented during

61
00:06:01,040 –> 00:06:06,920
the trial. The said court martiall
tried the parsesel irrespective of their ethnic and

62
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:13,519
religious affiliations, and the outcome was
determined strictly based on the evidence presented.

63
00:06:14,319 –> 00:06:17,639
In espousing the position of the NA
in the cases mentioned in the report,

64
00:06:18,279 –> 00:06:25,240
taking that of private Private Usman Shona
for instance, whearing evidence revealed that there

65
00:06:25,279 –> 00:06:30,000
were other soldiers at the scene of
the incident who also fired their weapons.

66
00:06:30,040 –> 00:06:33,720
Hence, the court, based on
this finding, among others, reached the

67
00:06:33,759 –> 00:06:38,879
conclusion that the shop that killed the
dead soldier could have been fired by any

68
00:06:38,920 –> 00:06:44,240
of the soldiers at the same thus
leading to his discharge and acctal. It

69
00:06:44,360 –> 00:06:49,160
must be emphasized that the NA does
not task its parsevel, including for court

70
00:06:49,279 –> 00:06:56,120
martional membership, on a regional basis
in order to achieve national spread. The

71
00:06:56,240 –> 00:07:01,240
NA is a composite national institution and
not an ethnic militia. It will therefore

72
00:07:01,279 –> 00:07:05,600
not by the audience, but being
done bop to induce splinter and along sectional

73
00:07:06,040 –> 00:07:12,959
ethnic and religious ficials. The court
martial proceedings were conducted in a fair and

74
00:07:13,120 –> 00:07:18,160
unbiased manner. It is advisable,
therefore, that the concern online media refrains

75
00:07:18,199 –> 00:07:26,480
from penerent misinformation capable of engendering disaffection
and disharmony among NA personnel, other services

76
00:07:26,480 –> 00:07:31,199
and security personnel. We urge the
public to note the true picture and discountinance

77
00:07:31,279 –> 00:07:38,360
the false report published by the online
media platform. Continued spread of the misinformation

78
00:07:38,560 –> 00:07:43,120
will only serve the ulterior motive of
the author, which is to cause disharmony

79
00:07:43,199 –> 00:07:48,399
in the NA. The NA is
committed to upholding justice, equity and discipline

80
00:07:48,399 –> 00:07:54,879
within its ranks and will continue to
ensure that all persondel are treated fury and

81
00:07:55,040 –> 00:08:00,680
in accordance with the law or nearby. In another statement on Saturday set the
