The commander of Army Headquarters Garrison, Maj Gen Koko Isoni, inaugurated on Thursday a General Court Martial to try 12 officers and 15 soldiers alleged to have breached different provisions of the Armed Forces Act.
The court martial was convened at the Scorpion Officers’ Mess, Asokoro, Abuja, pursuant to the powers conferred on him by Section 131 (2) (d) of the Armed Forces Act, CAP A20 LFN, 2004, for the trial of Nigerian Army personnel alleged to have committed different offences.
In his inaugural speech, the garrison commander assured the accused that justice would be done to all parties concerned by members of the court.
Isoni said that members of the court are men of integrity and high standing who would bring to bear their years of experience and service knowledge.
He urged them to eschew technicalities and do substantial justice to all.
He also advised all those appearing before the court to shun unnecessary delays that could prolong their trials, saying that justice delayed is not only justice denied but no justice at all.
The commander said that the court is independent of him and challenged the court to carry out its responsibilities without fear or favour towards anyone.
