They must not be killed!

I am alarmed by the death sentence passed on 12 soldiers in the nigerian military for the attack on their GOC and probably for inciting others to protest against the authorities. Well, in as much as I am not justifying their actions methink that the judgement passed on them is way too extreme and calls for immediate review. For crying out loud this is not a military regime so the military authorities should be guided by democratic principles. I hereby call on President Goodluck Jonathan who is the commander in chief of the military to wade into this matter and avert the death of these innocent soldiers by firing squad. Thank God the GOC was not killed which is enough ground to have their sentences mitigated. The philosopher has spoken.
