Due to the war against Boko Haram in Nigeria, the Nigerian army has redeployed some high-ranking officers. This is coming at a time when the military has succeeded in restoring normalcy to most parts of the troubled north-east.
A military source said the development took affected officers by surprise.
Lucky Irabor, theatre commander, Operation Lafiya Dole, and Victor Ezuwgu, acting general officer commanding (GOC), 7 division, have been transferred out of Borno state.
TheCable learned that Ibrahim Attahiru, a major general at the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA), Kaduna, would take over from Irabor, while Ezugwu would be replaced by I.M Yusuf, a brigadier general.
Barring last minute change of plans, Irabor and Ezugwu would hand over to their successors on June 1 and June 10 respectively.
Irabor will be going to the multi-national joint task force (MNJTF), where he will take over from Lamidi Adeosun, a major general, and Ezugwu will be deployed to a military formation in Zaria, Kaduna, as a GOC.
