President Buhari this afternoon sacked Nigeria’s service chiefs he appointed in 2015 and has appointed fresh hands.
President Buhari made the announcement on his Twitter page. He tweeted:
I have accepted the immediate resignation of the Service Chiefs, and their retirement from service. I thank them all for their overwhelming achievements in our efforts at bringing enduring peace to Nigeria, and wish them well in their future endeavours.

I have also appointed new Service Chiefs, to replace the retired officers:
Major-General Leo Irabor, Chief of Defence Staff
Major-General I. Attahiru, Chief of Army Staff
Rear Admiral A.Z Gambo, Chief of Naval Staff
Air-Vice Marshal I.O Amao, Chief of Air Staff.

You will recall that Pastor Adeboye once said that sacking service chiefs won’t change insecurity in Nigeria.

A dunce leaves, only to be replaced by another dunce as COAS.?
