President Muhammadu Buhari is reportedly planning to sack all Nigeria’s service chiefs before the end of July.
Buhari might however retain Inspector General of Police, Solomon Arase in his position, a Presidency source told Punch.
The service chiefs are the Chief of Defence Staff, Air Marshall Alex Badeh; Chief of Army Staff, Major General Kenneth Minimah; Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Usman Jibrin; and Chief of Air Staff, Air Vice Marshall Adesola Amosu.
