The pan-Yoruba social-cultural group, Afenifere; lawyers and activists on Monday lampooned the Attorney General of the Federation, Mr Abubakar Malami , for dropping the names of 10 soldiers named as accomplices in the kidnapping charges involving an alleged Taraba State kidnapping kingpin, Bala Hamisu, also known as Wadume, and others.
Reacting to the removal of the names of the soldiers’ names from the charges, spokesperson for Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin, noted that the development appeared to be a proof of a comment by a former Minister of Defence, Lt. Gen. Theophilus Danjuma , that there was collusion between criminals and security agents.
The SAN, however, said the government should be given the benefit of the doubt, as there might be a move to court-martial the soldiers. “But if they are not being prosecuted in the court-martial, then there will be no justification for the removal of their names.” “They ought to have decided on the forum for trying all the accused persons; whether the soldiers would be tried separately by a court-martial or tried together with others in the civil court, in which case, the military should have dismissed the soldiers.
