Nigerian officers face court martial over Boko Haram

ABUJA - Nigeria has ordered a brigadier general and 21 other army officers to face a court martial over alleged sabotage in the war against Islamist militant group Boko Haram, two military sources said on Tuesday.
The charges were not specified.
One source said the case opened on Monday at the Ikeja Military Cantonment in Lagos and would last over a week.
Elements of the Nigerian military have long been suspected of colluding with Boko Haram, which killed an estimated 10,000 people last year in its battle to revive a medieval caliphate in Nigeria, Africa's biggest energy producer.
