Tinubu Fires Service Chiefs in Major Military Shake-Up

Nigerian politician Bola Tinubu has initiated a significant military shake-up by dismissing over 50 generals and replacing the service chiefs. Former Army Chief Olufemi Oluyede has been named the new Chief of Defence Staff.

The move is expected to trigger a mass retirement within the military hierarchy. The changes aim to enhance Nigeria's national security amid ongoing challenges.

Tinubu's actions are part of efforts to revamp the military leadership and address security concerns.
