If discipline is the 'watchword' for the army, then it has no business owing arrears and breaking any contract of discipline. How calm does anyone think any employee would remain having been owed 6 months arrears with no hopes of ever collecting? Of course an uprising was inevitable. A hungry man is an angry man without an ounce of self control.

Life imprisonment for 'mutiny' as first time offenders constitutes tyranny to the highest degree. I am sure these 27 soldiers had complained to the highest order but met with deaf ears. Just goes to show that corruption has many faces in Nigeria.

So much for basic human rights. I guess other soldiers in the army have learned a grave lesson.

Due process indeed!
