However, when journalists contacted one of the counsel for the trial, Mr Femi Falana, he said that the army should take the honourable way out of the matter and free those being court-martialed.
Reasons he said , was that the military had now come out to tell the whole world that it has acquired new weapons to curb the insurgents, hence the successes it has recorded in its recent engagement with the insurgents.
