Human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), on Sunday urged President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Chief of Army Staff, Lt.-Gen. Tukur Buratai, if the army chief fails to voluntarily resign following the revelation that he purchased properties worth $1.5m in Dubai.

Falana said in a statement that despite Buratai’s commendable feat of leading the Nigerian Army to defeat Boko Haram in the North East, the war on corruption was also a must-win for the Buhari Administration.

The lawyer ‎described as a “cock and bull story” the explanation by the Nigerian Army authorities that Buratai paid for the properties in installments through his personal savings.

He regretted that the name of the Nigerian Army had been “illegally” used to ‎defend the Buratai in the unfolding scam.

While he condemned the involvement of the Nigerian Army in defending Buratai, he said no one had yet to explain to Nigerians how an army General could manage to save $1.5m.

‎He added, “In view of the ban on the opening and operation of foreign accounts by public officers, the Code of Conduct Bureau should be involved in the investigation.

“If the Chief of Army Staff does not deem it fit to resign forthwith President Buhari should not hesitate to remove him in the interest of national morality.”

Falana commended the Buhari Administration for how it has handled cases involving military officers allegedly involved ‎in the diversion of the sum of $15bn meant for procurement of arms.

The diversion of the fund, he explained allowed the Boko Haram insurgents to kill about 25,000 Nigerians and displace two million others, including children.

He also said since the administration had assured Nigerians that there would be no sacred cow in the fight against corruption, Buratai should step down and allow a full scale scale investigation by the Arms Procurement Panel and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.

Buratai must go. We must kill corruption.

Truth is Bitter

The right thing is for Burutai to resign....

Gen. Buratai should not only resign but must be prosecuted and locked up in Kuje prison where his fellow criminals are

BTW, Who the hell is falana to determine what punitive action is to be taken against Buratai

The same sychophantic zombie who speaks only when it is convenient

buhari government be like.

Since Buhari claim to be an Anti-corruption warlord, Let him sack Buratai (I doubt he will), And then Divorce his wife Aishaliburton for corruption. He has zero tolerance to corruption, don't he?

madridguy:
Buratai must go. We must kill corruption.

We prefer Buhari to tow the path of David Cameron
for using corrupt officials to fight corruption

Lets see what'll happen.

What do you mean ( We ) how many of you are we?

I agree

Gid help Burutai on this his case. Imagine what thesame Sahara reporters who the so called wailers claimed to be APC agent exposed this case. Hope the wailers will from hence think with their mind openly and objectively. God bless Nigeria! !!

Truth be told, this is one veeery tough choice to make given the valour of our troops in the NE theatre ever since Buratai assumed his position.

Indeed he must have dipped his finger in the cookie jar in the previous admin and should be dealt with accordingly, but I fear for what would become of the war against the terrorists upon his removal- like peering into a dingy room out of which very eerie sounds are coming- frightening prospect to say the least.

Come what may, Baba knows how best to handle this immensely dicey situation- one false move and we are back where the Ineffectual Buffoon left us in the NE.



PS: Idiots are welcome to quote me and bare stupidity to the admiration of their co-idiots.

why is it that everyone who have one way or the other gotten an excellence record must have a tragic flaw in Nigeria... Just my thoughts though....
God save me from image breakers ooo.

See the WE's

CLICK LIKE, If you want Buhari to tow the path of David Cameron and resign for using a corrupt official to fight corruption.

CLICK SHARE, If you want Gen. Buratai to simply resign

Falana says it - no matter whose ox is gored, take it or leave it. During the el-zakzaky fiasco, he spoke out vehemently against it. And he did condemn it when fuel subsidy was stopped some months ago and a host of other criticisms against the FG. Unfortunately whenever he does this, some people choose to see it as joining "the wailing gang", rather than seeing rightly as being open-minded that it's. Being a supporter does not muzzle your mouth from criticizing when things go wrong.

Imagine
You are praying for God to help a corrupt govt official who stole our common wealth to enrich himself and even went ahead in securing the future of his unborn generation at the expense of the suffering masses facing boko haram onslaught


You just deserve the hottest part of hell?

Buhari is blind towards his APC people and dat is wat Is actually going to destroy dis country!!!! Becaus nobody would sit and watch his uncle, friend and father go to jail while the friend of the person sending his relative to jail committed d same crime and is walking free!

Falana makes sense once in a while, so that he can remain relevant as an activist. We got your message Mr. Falana but your person has lost credibility as an activist.

Are you an aspiring Zombie ?
Maybe you're just gradually degenerating into zombeism

Get a cure pls

sahara reporters still remain a propaganda machinery n tool of distabilization for d advancement of their agenda.

Baba is already shopping for his replacement.

Buhari will rather sack you than sack him, you better keep quite before he replace's you with a northerner. or do want to recieve the treatment he gave to kachikwu.......proudly 5%

I think a middle ground position is to suspend him and then investigate his involvement in corruption. .. if found guilty he should be prosecuted and dropped immediately.


I still remain disappointed in PMB anti-corruption war which allows Saint Stealmore GEJ to walk around without answering for the obvious space and allowance he gave corruption. .. GEJ is no doubt involved in Dasuki stealing since he is the beneficiary of the crime. The war must be total.

Mor.ons and abees should know little attention will be paid to any senseless quote.

see this man, buhari is shopping already in his duara kitchen. for who will replace you. better keep quite and save your job

There's nothing like tough choice there. Buhari claims to be fighting corruption, he shld tackle corruption wherever it is found. Otherwise, those who say he's just persecuting his political opponents are right.

You fear for what will become of d fight against terrorists if Buratai is removed? Really? What a cheap defense for Buhari's obvious bias towards his 'trusted allies'. So without Buratai there is no Nigerian military?. If he really cared abt d war against Boko haram he wouldn't have diverted money meant for d fight to his personal use.

And in a bid to exonerate Buhari frm d mess u mentioned dat Buratai must have stolen d money in d last admin. So u didn't read dat he bought d second property after he became COAS. in which admin did he become COAS? Don't be a sycophant

Buratai, not only must he be sacked, he must also be prosecuted and d properties seized.
