A court martial sitting in Sokoto has granted bail to Martins Idakpini, a Lance Corporal who criticised Tukur Buratai, Chief of Army Staff.

Tope Akinyode, Idakpini's lawyer, made the disclosure on Thursday.

Court martial is a judicial process used in trying of the armed forces accused of offences.

Akinyode said, “Court martial grants bail to Lance Corporal Martins Idakpini. The court sitting in Sokoto made the order today after I argued the bail application. Idakpini was arrested for criticising army authorities. He's been detained for seven months without access to his family.”

Idakpini was arrested in June 2020 shortly after he made a viral video castigating Burutai for the failings of the Nigerian Army to combat and destroy Boko Haram.

Following his arrest, he was put in detention, incomunicado.

A Federal High Court in Abuja in July ordered the Army to grant him access to his wife, lawyer and relatives.

The court had also prohibited the Army from further violating the soldier’s fundamental human rights in any unlawful manner but the Army authorities disobeyed the order.

The Army has been in the news for the wrong reasons in recent times, owing to the handling of the fight against insurgency.

Last July, more than 300 soldiers indicated their interest to quit the Army, citing “loss of interest”.

Well I'm surprised Buratai din have him killed

Besides, why was lotta comments up thread deleted?? my guess is the mods trying everything they can to clamp down criticism from concerned Nationalist

vibre:

Yes! They are both brothers to their sisters

After granting him bail the court should order the arrest of Buratai for infringement on his right and incompetence.

Thank God

I salute your courage, you are the best bro.

And if he doesn't desert the nigerian army asap,he'd definitely be assassinated.

Sometimes,it'd even be a better option to be a proud bloody civilian than be in the armed forces.

Very hopeless Buhari
