The Nigerian Army has dismissed and handed a six months jail term to Brigadier- General Enitan Ransome-Kuti for the loss of military equipment to Boko Haram during the January sack of the Multi-National Joint Task Force, M-NJTF Headquarters in Baga.
Ransome-Kuti was court marshaled for cowardly behaviour, loss of weapons to Boko Haram, and negligent performance of military duty under section 62b of the Armed Forces Act.
Following a no case submission by the defendant, the court dismissed the charge of cowardly behaviour. It ruled that the defendant was right to withdraw his troops in the face of the superior fire power of the insurgents.
He was however convicted for the charges of loss of equipment and negligence of military duty.
For losing equipment to Boko Haram, the court jailed him for six months while the charge of negligence of duty earned him dismissal from the service.
