Do the 13 soldiers sentenced to death deserve it?

On May 14th, 2014, it was reported that Nigerian soldiers started shooting sporadically at Maimalari

Barracks in Maduguri, Borno State. The shooting was as a result of them being angry for the killing of their colleagues during an ambush by the Boko Haram sect which killed 12 soldiers. Lack of adequate weaponry to fight Boko haram and non-timely payment of their allowance was also part of the reasons...(is it not a shame that our soldiers fighting for the peace and stability of our country Nigeria, need to beg before they are being paid?)
