Soldier sentenced to death
cries out to Nigerian.

A young Nigerian soldier who was one of the 54
sentenced to death has sent a passionate appeal
to Nigerian.
One of the 54 Nigerian soldiers sentenced to
death » by a court martial on charges of mutiny
and refusing to go and fight the dreaded Boko
Haram sect, 22-year-old Fahat Fahat, has sent
out a passionate message to Nigerians, asking if
they are justified to died even when the army did
not provide the adequate equipment and training
for them to fight the sect.
According to Fahat, pushing the young soldiers to
fight the well equipped Boko Haram without the
necessary weapons was like sending them to fight
with their bare hands.
Shortly after they were sentenced to death » for
firing squad, Fahat took to his Facebook » page
to write the pathetic appeal to his countrymen.
Hear him:
"Hello ladies and gentle men. I am soldier and I
am sentenced to death by the Nigerian Army.
(be)Cause we did not go to fight Boko Haram
without equipment. We ask for weapon instead
(they) gave (us) death sentence."
The details of the so called mutiny reads like a
child's play because some of the accused soldiers
testified that they refused to take part in the
operation following the failure of the army to
provide them with the necessary support
equipment.
They explained that owing to a lack of equipment,
they lost three officers, 23 soldiers plus 83 others
suffering various degrees of injuries after their
units were ambushed by Boko Haram fighters
during an operation to retake the town of
Bulabulin in Borno on July 9.
Some of the accused soldiers said they did not
attend the briefing where the operation was
announced, while others said they did not join the
mission because they were ill and there was no
medical personal attached to their unit to give
medical assistance.
If you were the President and Commander in Chief
of the Armed Forces of Nigeria, would you allow
these young men to be killed?
