I think we don't need this at this time when we need them to fight insurgency in the North east.

How many have you court martialed in South East?

Most likely for refusing to be sent on a suicide mission by the Nigeria Army to fight against a more sophisticatedly equipped insurgents (Boko Haram) in the North East.
