In a statement issued by the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Nigerian army has confirmed the retirement of some officers which include; Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major.
The statement reads,
The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that quite a number of senior officers of the Nigerian Army were retired from service yesterday.
Those retired were mainly some Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. Their retirement was based on Service exigencies. It should be recalled that not too long ago some officers were investigated for being partisan during the 2015 General Elections.
Similarly, the investigation by the Presidential Committee investigating Defence Contracts revealed a lot. Some officers have already been arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
The military must remain apolitical and professional at all times. We must applaud and support this laudable and bold initiative by the government. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

Some of these corrupt officers are still in the Navy and Air force not only in the Army pls cheek
ReplyDeleteWhy retirement? Why not dismissal? When you retire a corrupt General, you will still pay his salary for life including driver and security. We can't afford this.
