The authorities of the Nigerian Army have retired some top generals of the Army.
It was gathered that those retired were ten in number.
Among those affected were the former
Director of Training and Operations, Defence Headquarters, Maj.-Gen.
Lawrence Ngugbane, the former Commander of Training, Doctrine and
Command, Maj.-Gen. Babagana Mungonu, and the former Chief of Research
and Development, Maj.-Gen. Obinali Ariahu.
A top military source said on Wednesday that the generals were retired because they had put in the maximum years in service.
The source said that the retirement exercise was routine and not punitive.
The source added that the retirement exercise was expected to take place every quarter of the year.
The source couldn’t give the names of the others affected in the exercise.
“It is true that some of our generals
have been retired. The exercise is a routine one. It is not a punitive
retirement, they have reached their terminal level.
