Replacements for the sacked military chiefs will soon be announced, Garba Shehu, a spokesman of the president, told Xinhua.
The military chiefs — Alex Badeh, the defense chief; Usman Jibrin, the navy chief; Kenneth Minimah, the army chief; and Adesola Amosu, the air force chief — were appointed in January 2014 by former Nigerian leader Goodluck Jonathan. (IANS)
