No room for criminality! TEN soldiers get DISMISSED from army after they were found guilty of extortion

The army has dismissed 10 soldiers after they were found guilty of the crime of extortion.

The unidentified soldiers were earlier this month tried summarily following their arrest by police. They were allegedly going about taking money from people forcefully.

Army spokesperson Major Lamin K Sanyang confirmed the ten soldiers’ trial and dismissal to Foroyaa saying the soldiers were summarily tried by their respective Commanders.

He told Foroyaa: “Five navy soldiers were tried at the Navy by their Commander and 5 from the Band were tried at the GAF camp and they were all found guilty – and dismissed from the Armed Forces.

“You would not receive anything if you are dismissed from the army. You go home with nothing.”
