Not surprisingly, there has been a great deal of discussion in Nigeria about the recent court-martial that sentenced 12 soldiers to death. Reactions are surveyed in
this article from
The Nigerian Tribune. The members began deliberations on the sentence at 12:30 a.m. and announced the sentence at 2:35 a.m. Court adjourned at 3:30 a.m.
Comparative law note: it is surprisingly common in United States military justice practice for court to run very late. Still, this seems indefensible.
