A military court in Abuja has convicted a former Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Olusegun Adeniyi, who once led the country’s onslaught against Boko Haram.
The report said the tribunal found Adeniyi, a major-general, guilty of violating some sections of the policy on the use of social media for personnel of the armed forces of Nigeria.
The court-martial, however, found the major general guilty of producing and publicising a video on the counter-insurgency operation in the North-east in a manner that embarrassed and ridiculed the armed forces of Nigeria
He was therefore ordered to be demoted by at least three years, while his orderly, Tokunbo Obanlawas also found guilty and sentenced to 28 days in jail with hard labour.
