Agunloye Sunday said the accusations against him and 199 others were “untrue, false and malicious” and that the arms given for them were outdated.
He said: “The bombs given to us were made since 1964 they were expired, so we could not use them.”
“Each of us were given five bullets, not five rounds to
fire, while in the forest, our biggest weapon was to cover just a
distance on 400 meters, but our enemy had aircraft weapons that could
cover a distance of more than 1000 meters with other dangerous weapons.
“We only retreated to our base, waiting for ammunition for three days in vain.”
Sunday clarified that the soldiers were earlier jailed for 28 days with hard labour by one Lt. Colonel Gambo, before a general court martial was set up by the Nigerian military to probe them.
