Nigeria's president replaces service chiefs amid insecurity
- 3 years ago
President Muhammadu Buhari's action on Tuesday comes after several years of calls by the public and federal lawmakers for the removal of the military commanders.
The Senate and the House of Representatives in separate resolutions had demanded the replacement of the service chiefs because of the worsening security in Nigeria’s northeast where a more than 10-year insurgency by the Islamic jihad group Boko Haram has killed thousands of people. The insecurity has been compounded by banditry in the north and kidnappings for ransom across the country.
