Faces Of The New Service Chiefs
President Muhammadu Buhari today appointed today new service chiefs for the country. As far back as July, the Nigerian Senate had called on the officers to step aside.
The replacement of the Service Chiefs by Buhari comes after numerous calls for their sack over the increasing insecurity in the country.
The Senate reiterated its call in December after 43 farmers were killed in Zabarmari, Borno State, by Boko Haram terrorists.
The new service chiefs are Major-General Leo Irabor as Chief of Defence Staff; Major-General I. Attahiru as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral A.Z Gambo as Chief of Naval Staff; and Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao as Chief of Air Staff.
