The Joint Investigative Panel established by the Defence Headquarters on the order of President Muhammadu Buhari to probe the killings of three police operatives and a civilian in Taraba State failed to turn in its reports on Friday.
It was gathered that soldiers linked with the matter have been in military detention since the first week of August and they are not likely going to be left off the hook until the report of the Panel indicate the levels of their culpability and otherwise. The source who spoke on condition of anonymity said the leadership of the army is poised to ease out bad eggs as soon as they are fished out, adding that they would not only be dismissed but they would be prosecuted according to service rules.
Said the Source: “ You will agree with me that the last three months has been very difficult and tasking for us in the Army. You recall the case of soldiers linked with a GOC who were on escort duty of a VIP and then they were reported to have abandoned their duty and absconded with millions of naira.
“I can assure you that the army authorities are not taking this matter lying low. We have had series of meeting. But there are issues we have to iron out. First, is the on-going investigations by the DHQ Panel on Taraba kidnapper and the alleged involvement of soldiers and officers in it.
