Army redeploys General Adeniyi to school after viral video of him complaining

The Theatre Commander of Operation Lafiya Dole, Major General Olusegun Adeniyi, who went viral a few days ago when he was videoed complaining about Boko Haram insurgents having more ammunition, has been sent back to school as a research fellow at Nigerian Army Resource Centre(NARC) in Abuja.

Major General Faruk Yahaya who was the general officer commanding (GOC) of the army’s 1 division in Kaduna, has been deployed to replace Adeniyi who has been in-charge of Operation Lafiya Dole since 2019.

While Nigerian Army’s spokesman, Sagir Musa said the new postings was a routine exercise intended to reinvigorate the system for greater professional effectiveness and efficiency, social media users insisted that Adeniyi’s deployment was a vindictive move by Buratai because Adeniyi told him an embarrassing truth.
