Major Shake-up In Nigerian Army As It Redeploys 120 Generals, Others (Full List)

The Nigerian Army has redeployed 204 officers to their establishments across the country, OnyxNews Nigeria gathered.

The redeployment, which sources said was effected on March 5, came the same day the Chief of Army Staff, Ibrahim Attahiru, was confirmed and promoted to the rank of Lieutenant General.

The redeployment came a day after the Nigerian Air Force announced a similar development.

Out of the 204 Officers redeployed, 120 are Generals. 68 are Major Generals while the other 52 are Brigadier Generals.

Others affected were 31 Colonels, nine Lieutenant Colonels, 25 Majors, 13 Captains and five Lieutenants.

Notable amongst the Generals redeployed are C. C. Okonkwo, a Major General, who was in charge of Operation Safe Haven in Jos, Plateau State and now transferred to the Army Welfare Limited/Guarantee as a Group Managing Director.

Another Major General, D.C. Onyemulu, replaces Major General Okonkwo as the Commander, Operation Safe Haven.

Most of the affected Officers are expected to resume at their duties on March 10.

The redeployment of the Officers is coming in the midst of increase in Boko Haram attacks on Army formations in the North-east region, banditry in the North-west, crimes and killings across the country.

Atleast seven soldiers of the Nigerian Army were confirmed dead after an ambush by the terrorists, Premium Times reported.
