…Says Nigeria Completely Insecure Under Their Watch
By Augustine Akhilomen
Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayo Fayose has asked the International Criminal Court, ICC to investigate the tenure of the sacked Service Chiefs especially with cases of extra-judicial killings and human rights abuses during their reign.
Buhari had on Tuesday after announced that the resignation of the service chiefs just as he announced their replacements.
Reacting to the development, Fayose took to his twitter page to call on the ICC to probe the outgoing officers.
“It is my call to the ICC and other relevant authorities that tenure of the “sacked” Service Chiefs should be investigated, most importantly human rights abuses and extra judicial killings under their watch and commands,” Fayose wrote.
The former Ekiti governor also accused the axed service chiefs of serving themselves and their pockets adding that under their tenure, Nigeria became completely insecured.
He added that though their removal was long overdue, it was a step in the right direction.
“The sacked Service Chiefs only served themselves and their pockets and can at best be described as “Disservice Chiefs” under whom Nigeria became completely insecured.
“Though coming after persistent pressure from Nigerians, President Buhari’s removal of the Service Chiefs and their replacement is a right step in the right direction. It is yet another victory for the people of Nigeria,” Fayose said.
He also urged the new Service Chiefs to “learn from their immediate predecessors and remember nothing lasts forever.”
