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
