Lance Corporal's Health Deteriorates As Army Prepares To Secretly Arraign Him


Lance Corporal Martins Idakpini’s health has deteriorated badly as the Nigerian Army has reportedly
transferred him to Sokoto in a bid to secretly arraign him before a martial court.

Idakpini's lawyer, Tope Akinyode, who made the statement on Saturday, said;

“Information reaching me right now indicates that Lance Corporal Martins has been surreptitiously moved from Abuja to Sokoto to be tried before a martial court on Monday.

“I'm also informed that the army is forcing a lawyer from within the Force on Lance Corporal Martins in a desperate attempt to jeopardise the case and wrongly convict the detained soldier.

“Lance Corporal Martins has been brutalised and subjected to a great deal of dehumanising treatment. He was also denied food and has therefore developed ulcer.”

It would be recalled that Idakpini was arrested in June 2020, shortly after he made a viral video calling out the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Burutai, for the failures of the army to combat and destroy Boko Haram.

Since he was arrested, he has remained in detention, and denied his rights to access his lawyer.

An Abuja Federal High Court, on July 22, 2020, ordered the army to grant the detained soldier immediate access to his lawyer and family as it was continuous breach of the Idakpini’,s fundamental human rights to be denied access to his lawyer and family.

However, the army refused to grant him access to his client despite being served copies of the court processes.
