Mr Martins Idakpini, had in a viral video, last year criticised President Muhammadu Buhari and the Chief of Army Staff, Tukur Buratai’s handling of the Boko Haram crisis, alleging that the duo failed to provide adequate resources to soldiers fighting Boko Haram. He was arrested and detained in Abuja, but a Court Martial in Sokoto State has granted him bail, seven months after he was detained.
The soldier’s lawyer, Tope Akinyode, confirmed the development on Thursday. Mr Martins was not allowed to have legal representation for a month until Mr Akinyode, a rights lawyer, approached a Federal High Court in Abuja, to file a rights violation lawsuit.
