President Muhammadu
Buhari has fired Nigeria’s
Chief of Defence, and the
heads of Army, Navy and the
Air Force.
The service chiefs were
relieved of their
appointments Monday.
They were appointed by
former President Goodluck
Jonathan.
Their replacements were not
immediately announced.
Military officials told
PREMIUM TIMES last week
that the delay is removing the
military commanders was
compounding the fight
against the jihadist sect, Boko
Haram.
The group has intensified its
attacks in the last one month,
with multiple suicide
bombings and gun attacks
killing hundreds of people.
Military experts said the
service chiefs expected they
would be fired any day, as
such, they were hardly settled
for the complex war against
Boko Haram.
