Buratai: Due Process Followed in Retirement of Army Officers - ThisDay

The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Tukur Buratai, on Monday said the retirement of some 38 senior army officers followed due process.

The COS made the disclosure during a courtesy visit to the Minister of Communications, Mr. Adebayo Shittu, in Abuja.

He said: “There cannot be a better time than now to retire these officers. It took us a painstaking procedure so that innocent persons are not mistakenly retired.”

He said their retirement, which took many people by surprise, followed the necessary enquiry, legal investigation with a report and recommendations to the higher authority before they were retired at the weekend.
