This case reflects a very sensitive issue within the armed forces and society at large. The military tribunal that sentenced Private Lukman Musa to death for the murder of a tricycle driver in Bauchi sets a strong precedent for discipline and accountability in the Nigerian military. The verdict was reportedly the result of his convictions for murder, culpable homicide, and illegal possession of ammunition.

I saw the news, and i think it's a good one, this would reduce the level of violence some of these officials exhibit out there.

Yes that would serve as a deterrent. If you kill even as an officer you deserve death too

That is a very satisfying sentence for the criminal death by hanging. Hoping others will not follow.

Yeah they should not be escaping this death as they have refused to let others rest

That could not also be easy to see a criminal sentenced by hanging. I doubt if people would like to watch it. My brother in KSA saw one inmate sentenced by hanging, he saw the head of the man jumped and jumped on the ground. It was so scary and pitiful, but that is the aw of the Arabs.

The sentence was in order. I don't know if they would have the balls to see through the execution. The crime was quite heinous.

Justice was finally served for the victim. That army abused his power. His death sentence is somewhat brutal by hanging, at least he can also feel the agony. The one he killed might be very poor and the bread winner in his family.
