Col. Sani Kukasheka Usman, Abuja:

The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that quite a number of senior officers of the Nigerian Army were retired from service yesterday.

Those retired were mainly some Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major.

Their retirement was based on Service exigencies. It should be recalled that not too long ago some officers were investigated for being partisan during the 2015 General Elections.

Similarly, the investigation by the Presidential Committee investigating Defence Contracts revealed a lot.

Some officers have already been arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

People should therefore not read this out of context.

The military must remain apolitical and professional at all times.

We must applaud and support this laudable and bold initiative by the government.

Trentonline just reported a similar story but claimed buhari sacked up to 200 mid and senior military officers because they were from the SE and SS and because they supported GEJ during 2015 elections. Who do we believe?

Nice one, this will go a long way in eradicating corruption among the senior Army officers.

EFCC pursing Generals... SMH

Reliable sources was any officer that has one billion Naira(#1billion naira) in his account was retired.
Also, there was an issued that some officers were found to be compromised by the former PDP party with lots of money so the army has no choice than to retire them to avoid revolt
None of the officers in the list has less than one billion in his accounts
Their properties may be confiscated if they cannot explained how they owned such money in military career
The list was announced in presence of ARMY COUNCIL MEETING yesterday. Comprehensive list might have been sign yesterday for distribution.

It is high time that was effected

This is serious

Seems the last administration had been the problem of Nigeria since independence

Bye bye looters

Fantastic. The Nigerian Army must be free from the crippling corruption that characterised it in the past admin. Anyone not comfortable with this drive to salvage our fatherland should make haste to obtain a Somalian nationality. They would surely not be missed.

They are afraid of a coup. The Coup will happen whether they fire the whole army or not. Buhari has failed, and soon he will be thrown out.

So...we should leave them alone to steal your money?

Nigerians!

A look at the authors of those comments against this commendable act of dealing with crooks and you'd see why it is difficult classifying them as sane human beings.

so me one successful coup outside those planned by IBB TYDOBJ group, they are the coup planners, IBB already told GeJ that the boys on now are boys of their boys, so forget it.

So he must be thrown out through coup.? You do not even think of democratic means. A retrogressive thought. Your hatred for Nigeria knew no bound but yet you did not suggest coup to achieve your IPOB agenda. Nigerians love Buhari and only God can stop him from having second term.

They are "Ugandans".

Buhari with his wicked, evil, confused, clueless and shameless Apc government will fail.

Let the name of the affected officers be published. I have my reasons.

Hope they are not threats to the environment?

OrlandoOwoh:

They are "Ugandans".

Oh yeah, almost forgot. The Lost Tribe of Everywhere.

Their latest claim is that they are from Burundi.
