Femi Falana has written to Abubakar Malami, requesting the immediate arrest and prosecution of 10 soldiers who allegedly killed three policemen and two civilians.
Attorney General of the Federation, Abubakar Malami
The said soldiers are Tijjani Balarabe, David Isaiah, Ibrahim Mohammed, Bartholomew Obanye, Mohammed Nura, Okorozie Gideon, Markus Michael, Nvenaweimoeimi Akpagra, Abdullahi Adamu, and Ebele Emmanuel. “Instead of using your position as the Chief Law Officer of the Federation to ensure compliance with the court order in line with the provisions of section 287 of the Constitution of Nigeria your office took over the case from the police prosecutor, amended the charge and withdrew the case against the suspects.
Mr Falana, in his letter, said the request of the police investigation team to interrogate the 10 soldiers, who were indicted in the killing of the three policemen and two civilians, as well as the kidnap of members of the public in Taraba State, was turned down by the Army authorities.
