Ibrahim Taiwo Promoted To Major-General By Army by dre11(op): 3:19pm On Nov 27, 2020

Ibrahim Taiwo, officer representing army at Lagos judicial panel, promoted to major-general

Ibrahim Taiwo, the officer representing the Nigerian army at the panel the Lagos state government set up to probe the Lekki shooting has been promoted from brigadier-general to a major-general, TheCable understands.

Soldiers had, on October 20, forcefully dispersed #EndSARS protesters at the Lekki toll gate and this led to an outcry.

Following the protest to end police brutality, the Lagos government set up the panel to look into allegations of rights abuses by the police special anti-robbery squad (SARS).

But the shooting of protesters at Lekki has been on the forefront at the panel, and Taiwo, commander of the army 81 division intelligence brigade, has been the one making a defence for the soldiers’ action.

According to military sources, Taiwo was elevated to the rank of a major-general after the military board approved the promotion of senior officers.

There have been contradictions in the army’s submissions at the panel over the Lekki shooting.

At first, the army denied deploying soldiers to the protest ground. It later said soldiers were sent there on the invitation of Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of Lagos.

Taiwo had also argued that the soldiers didn’t have the intention to disperse the protesters but were on patrol to clear up the Lekki, Eti-Osa corridor.

According to him, the soldiers were attacked by hoodlums, and this necessitated the use of force.

And then

Doesnt he deserve his promotion?

Can we seprate his job and his attendance on the panel.

So he shouldn't be promoted or what?

There are criteria in the army for promotion, as long as he meets them, i don't give a damn.

Why was he singled out among those promoted?
He shouldn't be promoted because he's representing Army at the judicial panel?

Nonsensical.

Promoted for taking the fall for Nigeria army

He was shamelessly lying under oath and not remorseful for the shameful conduct of the Nigeria army as regards to the events of 20/10/20

His father the then Major Ibrahim Taiwo was the butcher in Asaba. I am not surprised his son is defending Nigerian army in the massacre at Lekki.

Nigeria doesnt have external war or threat of military invasion. So why do we have a huge Army?

How do they earn ranks and medals if they dont fight wars?

Answer - They earn ranks by suppressing protests and killing citizens.

I recommend we either collapse police and make army do police job, or we collapse army and make police secure peace with our neighbors.

Keeping both is redundant because it means citizens have double chance of getting killed by police and if that fails then by army.

They realized that his confidence is wanning down because he goofed by admitting that live bullets were actually used on the ensars protest.

Meanwhile to drain the Endsars litigators they have to freeze illegally their account

This happens simultaneously while sitting is still on

It suffices to say that Major Ibrahim has served the army meritoriously.
