    This is contained in a statement issued by the Acting Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Tukur Gusau, on Monday in Abuja.

    Gusau assured the public of the Armed Forces of Nigeria’s commitment to upholding justice, fairness, and the rule of law.

    He said the military court-martial process, though meticulous, ensured fairness, equal opportunity, and justice in accordance with established military procedures and the law.
