President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked all the service chiefs in the country with immediate effect and has appointed new ones to take over the affairs of security in the country.
Femi Adesina, Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, disclosed this in a tweet on Tuesday.
He said, “PMB appoints new Service Chiefs. Maj Gen LEO Irabor, CDS (Chief of Defence Staff), Maj Gen I Attahiru (Army), Rear Adm AZ Gambo (Navy), AVM IO Amao, Air Force.
“He (Buhari) congratulates outgoing Service Chiefs on efforts to bring enduring peace to the country.”
Recall that there have been calls from Nigerians to sack the service chiefs over the security challenges confronting the country.
The outgoing service chiefs are General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (Chief of Army Staff); Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas (Chief of Naval Staff); and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Chief of Air Staff).
