Chief of Staff in the Directorate of the Army Public Relations, Col. John Agim, told journalists at a briefing by the Joint Security Services Public Information Committee that “with regards to Al-Mustapha’s release, well I want confirm that he is still in the Army.

“The case is going to be handled by the Army administratively in line with the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service.

hmmm! Good for him

Kindly edit the headline to correspond with the story.

i think a retirement suits him better owin to the fact that the new crop of nigerian army officers have a new drive different from what al-mustapha was accustomed with back then under his late boss. also there is need that medically he retires after this long year of incarcineration, to regain himself and also a moment for sober reflection and also reconciliation....i rest my case..
