The Theatre commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, General Olusegun Adeniyi, has been sent back to school to be a research fellow at Nigerian Army Resource Centre (NARC) in Abuja.
His posting was among the dozens approved by Chief of Army Staff, Lt. General Tukur Buratai.
Adeniyi became the Theatre Commander in August 2019 and was engulfed recently in a leaked video, in which one of his officers complained about the superior fire power of Boko Haram.
Social media comments on the posting Tuesday suggested Adeniyi’s deployment was a vindictive move by Buratai because Adeniyi told him an embarrassing truth.
The Army also deployed Major General Faruk Yahaya as the new theatre commander. He was the general officer commanding (GOC) of the army’s 1 division in Kaduna.
In a statement on Tuesday, Sagir Musa, army spokesman, said the postings were a routine exercise intended to reinvigorate the system for greater professional effectiveness and efficiency
