Military authorities have said the General Court Martial, sitting in Jos, has not concluded the trial of some soldiers arraigned before it.
The 3 Armored Division in Jos had inaugurated the GCM about two months ago to try 18 soldiers for allegedly giving information to the members of the violent Islamic sect, Boko Haram.
Recent reports, had, however, suggested that the military panel had concluded its assignment and had passed death sentence on the soldiers.
The Deputy Director of Information, Col Texas Chukwu, told newsmen in Jos on Wednesday, that the GCM had yet to complete its assignment.
He said, “The Court Martial is still ongoing and as soon as the case is concluded, it shall be forwarded to the military authorities for confirmation and then made public.”
Chukwu described the reports as baseless, calling on members of the public to disregard them.
