It would be recalled  that on September 15, 2014, a military court-martial sentenced 12 soldiers to death after they were found guilty of mutiny in Maiduguri, Borno State between 13th and 14th May, 2014.Reacting to the judgement, the Primate admitted that though military law was strict and must be obeyed, the authorities should be reminded that the country had already recorded enough casualty, therefore, the presidency should not add to it.Okoh made the appeal at the 6th Diocesan Communicators tagged; ‘Diocesan Communicator not a Honourary Title; Communication Skill Acquisition, Sharing and Practice’, held at the St Matthias, Wuse Zone 3 Abuja.

 

According to him, “We want to make an appeal to say they should temper justice with mercy and spare their lives.“The reason why their lives should be spared is that they have invested their lives in the defence of the nation, you should not only see their errors, you should equally see the good things they have done.“So, it is left for Mr President to consider that human beings can make mistake, and it is equally a good thing to forgive. The war on Boko Haram has consumed so many people, and we should not add more”, he added.
