In
a statement issued by the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel
Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Nigerian army has confirmed the retirement of some
officers which include; Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels,
Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. The statement reads,
The
Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that quite a number of senior
officers of the Nigerian Army were retired from service yesterday.
Those
retired were mainly some Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels,
Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. 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.
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).
The
military must remain apolitical and professional at all times. We must applaud
and support this laudable and bold initiative by the government.
