Special Court Martial convened by the Nigerian Army has rendered a verdict on Major General Umar Muazu Mohammed, the former Group Managing Director and Executive Vice Chairman of Nigerian Army Properties Limited.

He has been found guilty of 14 out of 18 count charges, all of which are in violation of service laws.

The charges encompass offenses such as theft, forgery, conspiracy, unauthorized diversion of Army property, and more, all falling under the jurisdiction of service discipline. Notably, one of the charges pertains to the receipt of $1.045,400 from shipping companies for utilizing the Nigerian Army Jetty at No. 6 Marina, Victoria Island, Lagos.

Additionally, Major General UM Mohammed was convicted of the misappropriation of $430.800, funds that were deposited into the Nigerian Army Domiciliary account at Unity Bank, Abuja, meant for the use of the Nigerian Army Jetty in Marina, VI, Lagos.

However, the general was acquitted of allegations related to the sale of an Army property worth N200 million in Lagos and the embezzlement of another N750 million from the total of N2.5 billion acquired from banks and subscriber contributions for an Army housing estate in Asokoro, Abuja. He was also found not guilty of forging a Deed of Agreement document in connection to the confiscation of another Army property in Lagos.

The Special Court Martial, led by Major General Kames Myam as President and comprising seven other Major Generals as members along with a Brigadier General as Judge Advocate, is anticipated to announce the sentences for the accused by the following Tuesday.

Throughout the court martial proceedings, Major General UM Mohammed was wheeled into the court due to health issues, although the President of the court, Major Gen Myan, confirmed that thorough medical assessments had been conducted, affirming the accused’s fitness for trial.

The prosecution was led by Col BA Oguntayo (Rtd), and the defense was represented by Olalekan Ojo, SAN.
