A call for the freedom on the 71 soldiers

Remember the 71 that were supposed to face death sentencing after charges of mutiny,

Remember that 66 soldiers sentencing were reduced to 10 years imprisonment . These charges which include criminal conspiracy, conspiracy to commit mutiny, insubordinate behaviour and false accusation.

According to Channels TV, the co-convener of the BBOG on Tuesday, December 29 implored the attorney-general of the federation, (AGF) and minister of justice, Mr. Abubakar Malami to recall the military men who were jailed for cowardice.

Among other demands, the group also asked the government to publicise the report on the mass abduction of the Chibok girls in April, 2014.

On his part, Abubakar Malami advised the group to make their request known to the federal government.

The attorney general has also assured the group that the federal government has set up a formidable legal team to take on the war against corruption in courts across the country.
