The Nigerian Army has recalled over 2,500
soldiers who were asked to withdraw from service for alleged offences
committed under the counter- insurgency operations code named Operation
Zaman Lafiya.
The review panel set up by the Army,
which began sitting in Kaduna on August 17, has also screened and
reinstated 102 officers, who were sentenced or facing prosecution in
relation to the operations in the North-East.
The reinstated soldiers and officers, it
was learnt, had commenced retraining at the Nigerian Army Training
Centre, Kontangora, Niger State.
The 2,500 soldiers were among the over
4,000 who responded to a memo from the Army authorities inviting
soldiers for a review of recent disciplinary cases, which emanated from
the counter terrorism operations.
The NA had said on August 1, 2015 that
the service would constitute a panel to review all recent disciplinary
cases in the service.
