Nigerian Military Keeps Mum As Court Sacks Service Chiefs by chaloner(m): 8:27am On Jul 02, 2013
What you don't know behind the scene ! A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, Monday,declared the appointment by the president of all Service Chiefs of the Federation unconstitutional and illegal.
Justice Adamu Bello held that the appointments were null and void and restrained the President from further appointing the chiefs of Air Staff, Army Staff, and Naval Staff without the approval of the Senate.
The case, instituted in 2008 by Festus Keyamo,against the President, joined the Attorney General and the three service chiefs as respondents.
Some poeple were asking , what is the problem of Mr. Keyamo, but is it true that Mr bello may be linked to boko haram that hav been disturbing the country for years now? Did you think that Mr president will listen to them this time ?
Mr. Keyamo told PREMIUM TIMES that the ruling effectively nullifies the appointments of all the military chiefs.
“They have been removed from office, that’s what it means. Even if they want to appeal, the judgment still stands,” Mr. Keyamo said in a telephone interview. Is this the right time to discuss this ? For me I believe Mr keyamo and mallam belo must somehow have an idea on the issue of boko haram, weyab.com stated.
Azubuike Ihejirika, the Chief of Army Staff, was appointed in 2010; Alex Badeh, Chief of Air Staff, was appointed in 2012; and Joseph Ezeoba, Chief of Naval Staff, was also appointed in 2012.
In October 2012, President Goodluck Jonathan reshuffled and retired the service chiefs with Mr. Ihejirika being the only officer to retain his post.
Efforts to reach military spokespersons were not successful.
The spokesperson of theNigerian military, ChrisOlukolade, said that he was busy and would “call back later.” will the masses allow this two to bring in another problem in the force at this critical time ? For me this two must have something to answer In terms of boko haram.

So we should put the appointment of security chiefs in the hand of people like hamman hembe, facrook lawal, emenalo et al. Very very interesting.
