Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, has called
on the International Criminal Court and other relevant authorities to
investigate the tenure of the “sacked” service chiefs.
Fayose who shared on his official Twitter handle urged for a
probe into the human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings under their
watch.
He also accused them of only serving themselves and their pockets, rendering Nigeria insecure.
He said this following their resignation which was announced
on Tuesday by the President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd.).
He said, “The new service chiefs should learn from their
immediate predecessors and remember nothing lasts forever.
“It is my call to the ICC and other relevant authorities
that the tenure of the “sacked” service chiefs should be investigated, most
importantly human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings under their watch
and commands.
“The sacked service chiefs only served themselves and their pockets and can at best be described as “Disservice Chiefs” under whom Nigeria became completely insecure.
“Though coming after persistent pressure from Nigerians,
President Buhari’s removal of the Service Chiefs and their replacement is a
right step in the right direction.
“It is yet another victory
for the people of Nigeria.”
Meanwhile, new service chiefs were announced today by the
President who gave their names as Major-General Leo Irabor, Chief of Defence
Staff; Major-General I. Attahiru, Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral A.Z Gambo,
Chief of Naval Staff; and Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao, Chief of Air Staff.
