Over 50 officers of the Nigerian Army will be retired in the next few days, with the official process begun.
A list, with names and ranks of those affected, is said to be ready and waiting for implementation.
Officers of ranks from Major-Generals, down to Lieutenant-Colonels, are affected in the massive retirement, described as “a major shake-up”, according to the Acting Director Army Public Relations, Col. Usman Sani.
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).
