| Buhari sacks Nigeria's service chiefs and National Security Adviser |
President Muhammadu Buhari has sacked all Nigeria's service chiefs and the National Security Adviser (NSA), Col. Sambo Dasuki (rtd).
The affected officers include: Chief of Defence Staff, Alex Badeh, Chief of Naval Staff, Usman Jibrin, Chief of Army Staff, Kenneth Minimah, and Chief of Air Staff, Adesola Amosu.
The affected officers were all appointed by the former president, Goodluck Jonathan on January 16, 2014. Badeh took over from Ola Sa’ad Ibrahim; Minimah replaced Azubike Ihejirika; Jibrin succeeded Joseph Ezeoba and Amosu became chief of air staff following the elevation of Badeh. Since he assumed office on May 29, Buhari has met with the dismissed military chiefs on three occasions.
Sambo Dasuki was one of the arrowheads of the coup that removed Buhari in August 1985, and it would have been awkward for Buhari to have effectively worked with him.
