President Buhari Sacks Heads of Army, Navy and Airforce

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday sacked the nation’s service chiefs from their appointment.

The service chiefs, including the Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Bade; Chief of Army Staff, Kenneth Minimah; Chief of Naval Staff, Usman Jibrin; Chief of Air Staff, Adesola Amosun were appointed by former President, Goodluck Jonathan

The Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi Adesina, disclosed this while speaking to State House correspondents on Monday.

Though he failed to give reasons for their sack and who their replacements are, he nevertheless added that the Presidency was preparing a statement on the sacking, which would be made available to newsmen soon.

Attacks by Boko Haram insurgents had escalated since the inauguration of President Buhari, leading to disquiet across the country over the preparedness or otherwise of the Buhari administration to tackle insurgency headlong.
