The judge, Chukwujekwu Aneke, in a ruling on Tuesday, upheld a preliminary objection filed by the defence challenging the jurisdiction of the court to entertain the case.
The preliminary objection was anchored on the grounds that the defendants were serving military officers as of the time they were charged.
Defence counsel had argued that the defendants were therefore, only subject to trial by a court martial, since they were still officers during the period.
