The Nigerian Army has said that the reported retirement of several
senior officers of the service; mostly generals, colonels and other
middle level officers is a routine exercise that does not require
publicity or listing of names.
The retirement came in the wake of the promotion of 150 top officers by
the Army Council with some sections of the country questioning why the
list of the retired officers was not published in line with that of the
promoted officers.
It was however gathered that the army hierarchy had taken the decision
not to publish the retirement list in line with the military tradition
and more also because of the growing trend of some vested interest
groups reading ethno-religious meaning into the Nigerian military
policy decisions.
