Yes i also concur When it comes to senior government officials, once they're caught & brought before the courts they always seem to become incapacitated, amnesia, have vision problems & financially strapped ! I'm from Trinidad & Tobago in the caribbean & we experience that very samething here...
Nigerian Court Martial has always remained a joke of the highest order. I don't know this convicted general but the court martial is as corrupt as anything. What goes on there is simply power struggle that aims always at de-ranking or demotion or disgrace of officers with brighter future. Worse of it is that, this struggle goes as low as to fighting junior officers with great future.
I think these court martial must restructure on the foundations of human dignity, integrity, impartiality, truthfulness and fairness.
You're right.And it's always some targeted tribes that are always affected.
God Bless you
@@gbengameyun3393 Very correct
Most of their targets are the southerners. It so disheartening that the man was subjected to the ruling of his archenemy. Many things are wrong in Nigeria.
beebs dad😭😭😭
...l am yet to see a Fulani general being demoted, especially those who were found to be supporting boko-haram!
You know it will never happen.
That will never happen in Nigeria, after all the country belong to the Northern Muslim.
So because he's from the south, he's no more a thief?
How about now?
Does it still belong to northern Muslims?
Happy Tours Africa is following you from Uganda
He didn't stole the money soldiers under his command carted or diverted away a bullion van along going to jaji for Thier projects. But I hope they can invite other lawyers of competent jurisdiction to help investigate the matter.
Even the one that dismissed him deserve Dismissal too hypocrisy
It's good to see that wrongdoing is punished in the Nigerian millitary. If done justly it's a good example to all that impunity will not be tolerated.
The military has never tolerated wrongdoing. Just because they don't virtue signal it like democracy doesn't mean they don't do it.
Did you watch till the end? The accused 's prime enemy is the judge.
The constitution of the court martial is wrong if the man presiding is an "enemy " of the man standing trial, whether he's guilty or not there's already a likelihood of BIAS!
How do you know he did all these things @josephbermentmcdowald7817...you are talking too much
I can't stop watching this video & anytime I do, all I see is injustice.
Nigeria take the step of equal right and justice Nigeria will be great again thanks so much.ex chief of army staff has to be investigated if we really need change in our beloved Nigeria 🇳🇬
😂😂😂
Why is it that when these strong military leaders are put on trial they suddenly become desperately ill?
My brother e Shock me they immediately became gravely ill I no understand
Pretentious for a lesser sentence.
Egos
same thought i had not only them but politicians as well
@@opeyemiadegoke361 it’s because they want people to feel sorry for them
All this because he didn't listened a order from his senior seriously??
these things are taken seriously in Military i think... but we have to understand the Military wont work if they dont listen to eachother and their superiors ..... This punishment is very small.....MILITARY COURT is very harsh ... thats a Army Mans life ...you know what you are getting into.... Its not like democratic court...
Not that he wanted to launder certain money from the nigerian army...but his boys he sent ran away with the money.
Congratulations sir 🙏 and Well done for your good job Sir and Carry on Sir God bless Nigeria 🇳🇬 Army Amen 🙏🇳🇬💚⭐🤍⭐💚🌺💚⭐🤍⭐💚🌺🌹🌹🌹
Buratai can dismissed others soldiers but No one can dismissed him after serving and over due for retirement.
I begin to see another perspective, thanks nelson
E no gree chop with them na
All those big ranks, who will be willing to fight Boko when almost everyone is a general.
😂👊 you said as it is. In Africa soldiers are ranked based impunity. God Help Us All
God will punish all Nigeria leaders one be one
I don't know if you even tried to think before you typed, so how manny generals did they talk about
They are not interested in fighting. They're interested in stealing money from Government coffers, eat drink, make merry and have sex. Useless lazy bums.
@@ejahkegbemonday9520 which God? Since Nigeria was created,how many times have you seen or heard that God has punished the leaders? Instead,they stay in office more than required upon all the curses Nigerian citizens are laying on them. God in the days of Nebuchadnezzar and all those wicked kings is a calm and merciful God now. He doesn’t punish all these evil leaders in Nigeria.
This kind if things should also be done to the current civilians politicians . There is much among them than the military.
I refuse to believe this is Beebs dad
Who is Beebs?
Rubbish.. who is not guilty in that country? All rubbish upon rubbish!
justice must start somewhere!
Short up and stop washing your dirty undies outside
@@igwemichael8603 " see who is talking... 😂
Salami. Ode ni e
Mumu man
judgment should NOT be selective
No way this Beeb’s dad
When your prime enemy is the judge in your case .
Hmmm
Hmmmm, I lack what to say, but I smell something fishy. His dismissal could be a set up. You know the kind of country we are into.
He refused to assist in rigging elections in Sokoto.
I felt the same. Nigeria is a country where the honest and truthful civil servants and officers are punished and set up or even killed if they cant be bribed to dishonesty. How many Hausa fulani officers had been treated this way. They do the worst things and get away with it. They are stylishly reducing Yoruba officers in tbe military. Our people should please wake up. Have we forgotten Arotile case. That brilliant , young officer.
It's a pity, that punishment is extremely hard & excessive on that officer. A Major General to be demoted & disgraced out of service for a crime not committed directly. If he is an Hausa /Fulani man,such case might be swept under carpet. Nigerian Army why!!!?
They brought his Yoruba brother as the prosecutor in chief to bring him down. Hausas won't do such to themselves
You don’t have sense, so he shouldn’t be punished for what he did, or cause a yoruba person is heading the trial he should be set free
How can something happen in your office and you won’t be aware? In the Nigeria army? Especially when it involves money biko rest Abeg
Useless na una they always bring religion or tribalism matter mumu
Even with this kind of thing the Nigerian military is more honest than United States police any day of the week.
Ghana should learn this
BEEB?
oh naw beeb’s family insane
Shame on you all. If he is a Fulani, would he have gone through this. Nonsense government
Hahahahhahah
U are right jare no mind them
Jerry , you are a bias man.
Fulani would never bring each other down...... Have u forgotten?....... You think Fulani is your mate.
I wonder which of them have not stolen including Buratai?
God will punish all Nigeria leaders one be one
The one who covers his/her evil with another evil to continue doing more evil....... simple answer to your wondering.
How convenient it is that a southern senior officer is being held accountable..
Thank God u noticed it too
I feel sorry for him...the man is not guilty of theft. It was just a simple misunderstanding.
No be small thing oooohh!! They are all thieves here judging another thief
The lawyers argument makes sense. Soldiers on escort duty stole money, then you arraign him for stealing money and you recovered over 100m from him. It's senseless.
What's more baffling is how these men never get along.
He's the commander
@@Franceman.n But that's not the argument they're making. They're saying he stole.
@@chinwenerondu8192 yes ofcourse he did, because those soldiers are under his command and he was aware of the movement
@@chinwenerondu8192 when a soldiers fights battles and win, the victory is tagged to the commander or general, so in this case too, he has to bear the consequences since he was aware
@@Franceman.n totally unrelated but citing your example, if a commander leads his brigade to war and they engage in mutiny, is that also his fault? The exact balance of the money was in his possession and he returned it. This is a clear case of vendetta. Knowing their history, the other officer should never have been in charge of the investigation.
What of all the Fulani Generals stealing our Funds and sending our soldiers into war without food or arms. We want Oduduwa Republic Nigeria is finished.
what type of generals do that
Nonsense talk
Never a good thing to see this happen to a general.
It's not a good thing bro
At least there are still found accountable officers in corruption in that country. what is worst when no one is found when corruption is rampant--- a glimmer ./
The music doesn't match the video seriousness.
This case is not as simple as it looks. A lot has happened behind the scene besides most of them who gave that judgement have got terrible skeletons in thier own cupboards
Spot on… it was obvious even in their voice..
All this for 100+ million naira? Meanwhile politicians are looting in billions with little or no consequences! This is so sad and unfortunate.
Innocent until proven guilty so those alleged “skeletons” means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as long as they are still in the cupboard.
The main reason being that adeosun or otiki will be coas that's why he was deranked
Na who them catch be thief o. You don't understand this principle at all.
If this is how they are handling the Nigerian ministers, governors and other government officers and police, lives in Nigeria would have been so good. This is just one out of thirty million corrupt government workers.
May God help our country nigeria in Jesus name
Nigerian Army still has discipline thank God, you can never watch this happen in the Nigerian Police force or Customs where you have the hard core thieves and robbers
Is there any sector of the Nigerian society today that has not experience its own fair share of rouges and thieves? For being biased I think you should be measured as being one of the rouges n thief who wants to remove the peck in someone else's eye without first removing the planks in his.
Which decipline all of them which one of them pure
@@zumawinnie2670 being biased for calling out corruption? You sir, are a fool.
@@OvesDeiyou are a bigger fooI.
Adeosun should be ashamed of himself for been used to deranked a Yoruba senior officer like himself. Shame on you Adeosun
That man is guilty but he seems to have stepped on toes.
Sentiment is among other reasons why Nigeria is where she is today
So because he is yoruba he shouldn't be tried? Go and join the army.
@@oluwasanmiakinbade604 what about the fulani military men show me 1 successful prosecution
@@oluwasanmiakinbade604 Yes he shouldnt, if that's what u want to hear.
No one will be sentimental or tribal if it was a level play ground.
Look at him, pretending to be incapacitated.
tlig lol classic move that is used here in the US by celebrities
He was thinking to say "Is it because I'm black"
Beast Mr adeosun
In 80s generals can't be deranked and dishonored. Those are real soldiers...
For real the likes of IBB,OBJ,Sani Abacha and many more
SO When they want start the dismissal of some criminals on the Nigerian POLICE Force. We Nigerians abroad like to see it happen.
There's Always Politics everywhere in Nigeria
The guy is guilty however they have personal beef.
There was no beef, he just got caught and no way out. The army was furious cos he didn't do it very well. And they felt he was a disgrace.
@@busterzigler7530 how❓ who caught him❓ soilders in his command committed a crime, (and yes that makes him culpable in military scheme of service) a simple reprimand, suspension, removal from post, demotion or at most a forced retirement should have sufficed. However we all know that the severity of the punishment is dependent on where and how you stand in the "record books" held by the powers that be. Could you please Remind me of when last a Northern Officer ranked this high was this conspicuously disgraced from service. ANY❓ okay then, I guess they're all SAINTS❗❗🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂❗❗❗
@@theshector1 and they use his fellow yoruba officer to make it look like a "yoruba nailed a fellow yoruba" thing, apparently absolving themselves, yet everyone knows that they (i mean the satanic hausa/fulani puppeteers) are in the shadows pulling the strings! Evil country.
@@theshector1 Am in 8th division, MRS. That's all I can tell you.
Tiri gbosa for this wonderful nation.
Other looters in the parliament should be brought to the book
crime runs in the family i guess 😭😭
Interesting to see another Lt. Gen in Nigerian Military, holding same rank as current COAS. That’s the way it is in the US, several Lt. Generals heading massive branches are possible. Not like previously when we could only have one Lt. General which can serve as the COAS.
Even Among Lt. Generals, there are seniority by Year.
In May 1966, General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, Nigeria’s first military head of state promulgated the infamous Decree No. 34 of 1966, the “unification decree.” The decree effectively did away with the federal system of government practised by Nigeria since its independence from British colonial rule in 1960. In its place, the general instituted a unitary system of government as a way of discouraging “tribal loyalties and activities which promote tribal consciousness and sectional interests and which must give way to the urgent task of national reconstruction.” The decree suspended aspects of the Nigerian constitution and, with it, the military government arrogated to itself wide discretionary powers. Unknown to the general, the effects of this decree would reverberate well into Nigeria’s sixtieth year as an independent nation.
.
*It's a tragedy to the fate of this nation that the Igbo person has been in denial about the problem they created for this country since 1966. Instead, they play the victim. I no longer debate Nigerians on this issue. It has served me no good*
That's because the US Army is made of up State Armies not a federal Army like in Nigeria.
@@tripleclickswilliamazanuwa4596 what are you talking about state armies?
You guys just create hogwash from thin air and expect others to swallow it.
Refrain
@@tripleclickswilliamazanuwa4596 no thats not correct. States dont have Armies. National Guards you probably meant.
Corruption every where we can now see why Boko haram can't end any time soon.They want to make more money.
This men worn the kit it's a police kit he's serving for the country he's got a civil power already.....
It's not possible to be like this
The Nigeria Army can do far much better than this,i believe.
Nice one
They should have just show this man Mercy 😭
It's a set up
I think people like you should keep quiet.
This is Nigeria😁😁
This is the problem with the entire Africa
Police,EFCC must ensure prosecution
Always against the south, those from the North are all Saint.
How did you niggas find Beebs dad
😭😭
So sad 😭
I some how feel this man is not guilty. Something is fishy. Bad blood is flowing. I feel for him as a disabled.
His disability hurts me more
@@johnkenneth9030 Na thief. What has his disability got to do with it?
Yes, my sister the country we find ourselves today is full of maradonas. This kind of thing can never happen to a northerner, wanlahi they wouldn't do it if it were to be a northerner. You must have ur brothers back no matter what.
This is not about your feelings. The man is a thief and he's not disabled.
Nigeria,Nigeria
You need a bigger court 😂
My question on this is, why are they using west to fight west? Yoruba think!
I think he surpassed the rest in theft and that miffed the others in uniform.
Why do Government officials always develop stroke or some illness when facing trial 😂😂😂😂
WAKANDAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
A big shame to Lt. General Lamidi Adeosun for all this nonsense sentence. Lt. General Lamidi Adeosun is the worse soldier of out time, a pot calling the cattle black. Yoruba will never learn their lesson. Yes, if General, Hakeem Otiki is a Fulani General he will not be found guilty of any offence. The most corrupt Army Officer of the entire World today is Lt. Tukur Yusuf Buratai of Nigeria. The financial scandal and atrocities committed by Lt. Tukur Yusuf Buratai should be investigated and he should be demoted and dismissed from Nigeria Army as well.
Thats what happens when you don't share the loot😂
You got it .....If you were in the civil service you would understand what's going on.....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💦
The army are also part of the Nigeria problem
Why not work hard till the last of my breath
for a betterment of my only one country? There's a polite saying that 'there's no place like home! So don't be destroying your beloved and only home, remember! now it's 21st century, the world is at competition, Do not dishonour your country and your self because nobody wants to be defeated in this life.
Well, from the way you sound, Bashir, you are a man of conscience and honour but unfortunately, most of your kinsmen who control the real power in the country are the exact opposite! I hope you find a way to get your message of propriety accross to them in the corridors of power and the brainwashed, uninformed grassroots who always hail them irrespective of their shortcomings. I know nobody is perfect, north, south, east and west but I'm talking about those who wield real power ( the president and his closest henchmen) whose words and actions matter the most!!
Should have locked him up. A more junior person would have been jailed and denied all future benefits. Shame on his abuse of power.
It is well
Yes, perhaps he is guilty as charged, so are most military officers both active and retired. Why was the tribunal able to arrest, try and convict him, whereas politicians, all the way from local government officials to the senate are able to go about their daily lives with impunity?
135m naira=$205,000 USD
He must of overdone the corruption and kept the loot for himself🤣👊🏿
ITS AGAINST ARMY DISCIPLINE FOR A JUNIOR OFFICER TO TOUCH A SENIOR OFFICER
I am glad you noticed that sir.
that is the only person he can trust at that point in time
Meaningless law
He ate full African lion without giving share to his bosses.
Remember Danjuma,Shehu Yar,Adua Obasanjo,Babangida were thieves too, it's been going on for year's
Money is all they know not even offending on the battlefield useless army court.
Inside
All
Ok
As long as the Army has proof and the General admitted to it... Then let the law be upheld.... Respect the Law especially the ones who make the law must live by it...
Sorry 😢
Those our leader who are stealing from us, who have arrested or dismiss them rubbish
Nigeria 🇳🇬 🤦♂️
The bottom line DO NOT THEIF, DISAPPOINTING EXAMPLE TO SET
He should have been stripped of all his rank to a private soldier and told to live out in the bush with nothing lol
Did I just see a paralyzed soldier. How?
Thsts a court like a Food hall
Gen Otiki was recommended for demotion and dismissal bec he contravened Service Orders in handling of Divisional Finances. I do not think the money he was ferrying by road with those other ranks was approved for such transportation. However for Gen Lamidi to continue in the panel after Otiki protested his membership of the board was wrong as it breached Fair Hearing.
Oo
Wh0 is pure among them
All christians fully baptised by sacrament ordained church clergy.
Its same in india as well.. but big fishes r politicians .. the general mit be a scapegoat
Atleast mention somewhere, which country is this?
Its looks like Nigeria but in title and description did not mentioned
They said Nigerian Army
The Chanel name literally has Nigeria in it
Hmmmm, IT'S GOOD IF THERE'S FAIRNESS AND EQUITY.
