Nigerian Army High Command has clarified that the ongoing review of disciplinary cases concerning dismissed soldiers is purely an administrative procedure.
According to Acting Director of Army Public Relations, Col Sani Usman, the procedure should therefore not be misconstrued as an attempt to recall all the dismissed soldiers.
Col. Usman stated, “The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a correspondence making the rounds in some media regarding an administrative procedure to review some recent disciplinary cases in the Nigerian Army.
“For the avoidance of doubt it should be noted that the Nigerian Army is reviewing all recent disciplinary cases due to the wave of litigations and petitions by some aggrieved personnel.
“The public should not misconstrue the recent directive to mean total recall of dismissed and deserter soldiers”.
