Amidst growing public outcry, President,  Muhammadu Buhari, Tuesday, sacked the service chiefs in the country.

Their disengagement is with immediate effect.

The President also appointed new hands to replace the retired service chiefs.

Special Adviser On Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, made this known via a tweet.

“PMB appoints new Service Chiefs. Maj Gen LEO Irabor, CDS (Chief of Defence Staff), Maj Gen I Attahiru, Army, Rear Adm AZ Gambo, Navy, AVM IO Amao, Air Force.

“He (Buhari) congratulates outgoing Service Chiefs on efforts to bring enduring peace to the country.”

The outgoing service chiefs are General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (Chief of Army Staff); Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas (Chief of Naval Staff); and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Chief of Air Staff).

‌Recall the the National Assembly has at least twice moved a motion for the President to sack the former service chiefs following their inability to curb the worsening insecurity in the country.
