Brigadier General Enitan Ransome-Kuti, the son of the late human rights activist, Beko Ransome Kuti, has been sentenced to six months in prison for offences committed during the war against Boko Haram.
Brigadier -General Enitan Ransome-Kuti
He will be dismissed from the Army if the sentence pronounced on him by a military court in Abuja on Thursday is confirmed by the Nigerian Army.
Brigadier General Kuti has been at the center of controversy relating to his conduct as an officer.
He was accused of failing to perform his military duties during the fight against Boko Haram which may have resulted in the militants’ capture of Baga, the center of a multinational force.
Included in the charges against him is that Brigadier General Kuti failed to account for the weapons and ammunitions under his supervision, rendering the army useless in the fight against Boko Haram.
The officer denied all the charges. During a long trial, his lawyer, Femi Falana, presented evidence to the court that the Nigerian army had simply failed to provide necessary equipment for the Brigadier General to perform his lawful duties.
Falana also presented several statements from officers and soldiers who repeatedly stated that the army was ill-equipped to fight Boko Haram, an assertion that was later affirmed by a former Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, shortly after he was fired from that position earlier this year.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.

So you did not know that America refused to sell arms to Nigeria and Jonathan eventually went to the Russians?

ReplyDeleteBuhari has started weeding westerners out of the military
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with removing spineless cowardly people from the army.Such persons should look for job elsewhere.
DeleteCommon sense is not common. This case started during the tenure of Jonathan. Be enlighten 4 once
DeleteArmy should shut up abeg and hide their face in shame. BK is rubbing their face in the mud for the world to see. If its to give resounding slaps and frog jumps to civilians they will do it with all manner of vigor.
ReplyDeleteAbeg, the man no wan die.
ReplyDeleteBut it will be a pity if you are dismissed. After all the long years of service.
All the big hausa names wey full military ,big hausa generals na yoruba man them assign to boko them crase well well .
ReplyDeleteThe yorubas are known for cowardice. The guy think say military na amala. Kikikikikikijkikijikiii
ReplyDeleteNwa amaka, for the first time on dis blog.U said something truthful and reasonable.
DeleteAnd what was the fate of the courageous Biafrans? Didn't they lose at the end? Leave Yorubas alone. Being a coward for safety is acceptable but forming strong and lose in the end is the highest stupidity.
DeleteBut it was the same yoruba that the british met fighting a civil war of close to 40years with weapons that were uncommon in those days in this part of war. It is the same yoruba man that your warlord surrendered to end the civil war. We are of brains not brawn. We are America while your tribe is Russia.
DeleteWhat is the name of that bald-headed pretender that (mis)led his blind tribe to a needless civil war; only to bolt off with his tail between his legs when he was most needed to be a man? The world has known no worse act of cowardice since then. Remind us his tribe...... Samuel doe, Gaddafi, sadam Hussein etc have all happened since then, they looked death in the eyes and damn the consequences.
DeleteOjukwu father of all cowards na
DeleteOkay thanks.Now let ur strong n bold tribe March to sambisa and the war once and for all.
DeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteOk seen
ReplyDeleteMy comments reserved
ReplyDelete@seun,why will u not reserve ur comment?
DeleteCourage to say the truth has left you bcos .........
Stella I dont blame him.... the military n para military are guilty of sending southerners to war torn states while they post their people to safe places. My friend was the only southerner officer posted to Adamawa while hausas were posted to abuja, ikeja lagos, Oyo etc! Where he is there is no wall or gate round the so called barracks with only 3 officers there, no guns nothing to protect themselves. The roads ave been run over by water released from cameroun's dam! Its really not fair!
ReplyDeleteThe fear of Boko Haram is the beginning of wisdom.
ReplyDeleteSo Amaka & Money Maker's comments still don't count as tribal bigotry, hen Stella?
ReplyDeleteYou still need evidence abi?
Irony is am not Yoruba! But I hate, no, loathe all & any form of bigotry. Shame on all of you who don't for the sake of today, our kids & posterity condemn such mindless & mentally myopic talk. Of course you inclusive Stella!
& don't gimme some line about correcting them privately, they uttered rubbish in public, if u stand against it chastise in public!
Ordinary people!
(lol! 'ordinary people' has deep meaning, I rarely use it, but these people deserve it! If you're friends to wise old people you'll know what it means, wink!)
