President Goodluck Jonathan has sacked Nigeria’s
service chiefs and appointed new ones.
This was disclosed by presidential spokesperson,
Reuben Abati, in a message on his twitter handle @abati1990.
“President Jonathan has appointed new Chief of Defence
Staff and Service Chiefs. Air Marshal Alex Badeh now CDS. Details shortly..” he
tweeted.
Mr. Abati said the former Chief of Air Staff, Air
Marshall Alex Badeh, has been appointed the Chief of Defence Staff. He replaces
Admiral Ola Ibrahim.
He is yet to announce the names of the new heads of
the Army, Navy and Air Force.
There had been speculation the service chiefs would be
replaced following their inability to curtail the deadly activities of the
extremist Boko Haram sect.
