President Muhammadu Buhari has today sacked Nigeria's Service Chiefs. The affected officers are Alex Badeh, Chief of Defence Staff; Usman Jibrin, Chief of Naval Staff, Kenneth Minimah, Chief of Army Staff and Adesola Amosu, Chief of Air Staff.
Sacked Service Chiefs: Badeh, Minimah, Jibrin, Amosu
The relieved service chiefs were appointed by former President Goodluck Jonathan on January 16, 2014. Badeh took over from Ola Sa'ad Ibrahim; Minimah replaced Azubike Ihejirika; Jibrin succeeded Joseph Ezeoba and Amosu became chief of Air Staff following the elevation of Badeh. Since he assumed office on May 29, Buhari has met with the dismissed military chiefs on three occasions.
Experts say the Service Chiefs expected that they would be fired any day, as such, they were hardly settled for the complex war against Boko Haram.
