Those of you jubilating that Attahiru is dead, here is the good news; there are over 20k Attahirus in the Nigerian Army ~ Garba Shehu Btw, I think lamidi cownu should change his Chief of defense staff. He should be able to do that from kuje prison where he acts as the Oni kuje of kuje prison. 2 Likes 2 Shares

The appointment by the COAS is well spread maybe Buhari should come and learn from the new COAS on how appointments should be made..... |
Re: Army Chief, Yahaya, Appoints New Field Commanders, Others by fitzmayowa: 2:14pm On Jul 04, 2021 |
bjdon: With the death of the former COAS and the appointment of this new one most of commanders appointed by the previous COAS were forced into retirement, hence the buzz everywhere when Buhari skipped most of them to appoint their junior as COAS.... |
