54 Nigerian Soldiers sentenced to death

According to Al Jazeera reports, Boko Haram killed 32 people and abducted many in northeastern Nigerian village. This occurred in the remote village of Gumsuri in Bornu. In another development,  a court-martial sentenced 54 soldiers to death for mutiny.

Cameroon also said that its troops had killed
116 Boko Haram fighters in a far north region.
Gamsuri is located on the road that leads to Chibok, where Boko Haram abducted more than 200 girls from a school in April.

Speaking about soldiers sentenced to death by firing squad, lawyer Femi Falana, who represents the condemned men, said another 43 soldiers accused of refusing to fight Boko Haram would be tried by a military court. About 5 soldiers were freed

Nigerian troops regularly complain that they are outgunned by Boko Haram and are not supported with enough ammunition or food.
