Nigerian Army will not condone any act of mutiny by soldiers fighting Boko Haram.

According to the Army, discipline is the bedrock of military and soldiers found guilty of mutiny will be disciplined.

Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major-General Abbah Dikko, gave the warning while reading the riot act to soldiers fighting the insurgency in the Northeast.

Dikko who hosted officers and men at the headquarters of the Theatre command in Maiduguri, the Borno State capital, frowned at the act of mutiny, insisting that the officers voluntarily joined the military and as such must follow instructions.

He condemned the act of mutiny under any guise, maintaining that the law and ethics which the Nigerian Army was guided by would take its full course on errant soldiers.

Dikko reminded them of their oath of recruitment pointing out that they voluntarily joined the military and as such must be disciplined.

Speaking concerning the fate of the thirty soldiers that recently protested their posting to Marte, a Local Government Area in Northern Borno State, Dikko said they would be disciplined in accordance with military laws.

He also said it was important that the military uphold the values and ethics of the system, saying military service was to fatherland not a service to oneself.
