President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked Tukur Buratai as the Chief of Army Staff.
Other service chiefs in charge of Navy and Air Force were also fired in an announcement made by presidential spokesman Femi Adesina on Tuesday.
“PMB appoints new Service Chiefs. Maj Gen LEO Irabor, CDS, Maj Gen I Attahiru, Army, Rear Adm AZ Gambo, Navy, AVM IO Alao, Air Force. He congratulates outgoing Service Chiefs on efforts to bring enduring peace to the country,” Mr. Adesina said in a tweet on Tuesday.
The service chiefs, who were first appointed in 2015, have come under immense criticism over their failure to check widespread insecurity across the country.
The president himself also faced criticism for extending the tenure of the service chiefs despite their failure to address insecurity.
