It was revealed they reneged on their oath of allegiance to fight and protect the Nigerian nation in the face of trouble, as they joined hands with the Boko Haram Islamist terrorist group to carry out disarmament of the Nigerian Military, leading to the loss of lives of several of the soldiers deployed down there in the North Eastern part of the country.

    I feel these soldiers should be warned never to indulge in this act again, rather than executing them. They seem like they've shown remorse for their actions. Can some one appeal for their behalf please?

    You are right, this is not the best way to call them to other, I still they should be given a second chance, it's never good to treat bad with bad, because they Two wrongs can't make a Right. May God Bless Nigerian and restore peace in our land.

    I look at the young soldiers, I couldn't but to feel pity for them, because it's not easy to be at the war front. It may be that they got overwhelmed by these terrorists and they decided to play the dumb to be able to stay alive.. Please let the authorities in charge of the sentence revoke this order, for the sake of God.

    We all know it's wrong to do what they did, but let be thought that this is heinous crime, and that it should repeat itself again. This is my humble appeal to the Federal Government and the Military Headquarters.
