Military authorities have retired the former General Officer Commanding the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maiduguri, Maj. Gen. Abubakar Mohammed who was attacked by some soldiers on May 14. Mohammed was retired after he was recalled to the Headquarters of the Nigerian Army without posting for months following the soldiers’ attempt on his life. A top military source tells Punch:
“The Maj. Gen. has been retired; you don’t expect that to be made public; issues of retirement especially in the military are confidential. The man was at the Army headquarters for some time. He was awaiting posting then but he was eventually retired about a month ago.”
The soldiers, who had on May 14, 2014 fired shots at Mohammed, in Maiduguri, were yesterday convicted for mutiny and other offences such as insubordination .
