Those on trial are; Brigadier-General J.O Komolafe, Colonels I.B. Maina and I. A Aboi; Lieutenant Colonels NN Orok C. A. Magaji, A.O. Agwu and O.O. Obolo and a soldier with an undisclosed identity.

Their alleged offences also included negligence and complicity in the invasion of the 21 Artillery Brigade, Bama, by insurgents , September, 2015.
The trial of the officers which started last year has witnessed series of postponement, attributed to transfers and promotions of members of the Army Board.

The 14 officers are Colonels A. Laguda, V. Ebhaleme, V.O. Ita, I.M Kabir, M.H. Abubakar, A. A. Egbejule, A.J.S. Gulani and A.M. Adetuyi.
