The Chief of Defence Staff, Gen. Christopher Musa, has directed an immediate investigation into the alleged unjust incarceration of a naval rating, Abbas Haruna, for six years.
This was disclosed in a statement by the defence spokesman, Tukur Gusau, on Monday.
The DHQ Gusau assured the public of the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s commitment to upholding justice, fairness, and the rule of law.
It said the military court-martial process, though meticulous, ensured fairness, equal opportunity, and justice in accordance with established military procedures and the law.
“The outcome of the investigation will be made public in due course. The DHQ urges the general public to exercise caution and refrain from spreading unsubstantiated information while the investigation is ongoing.
“We assure Nigerians that the armed forces will ensure a speedy and transparent investigation,” the statement said.
