Army Confirm Retirement Of Senior Officers by khalidx: 1:16pm On Jun 11, 2016 |
The Nigeria army has confirmed the sack of
about 50 senior military officers over ongoing
allegation of professional misconduct.
In a statement early Saturday morning, Army
spokesman Colonel Sani Usman said the army
council has approved the retirement of some
senior officers.
Usman said those retired were mainly some
Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels,
Lieutenant Colonels and a Major.
He said: “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.”
He added that: “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).”
Usman said: “People should therefore not read
this out of context. The military must remain
apolitical and professional at all times.”
He added that the army applaud and support this
laudable and bold initiative by the government. |
