He had earlier that year helped foil a Boko Haram terrorist attack on the Aso Rock Villa, having “discovered and penetrated” the cell tasked to carry out what would have been a major blow to the state of Nigeria. The key planner of that foiled act of terrorism was a police sergeant, identified as Babagana, according to army records seen by PREMIUM TIMES.
The referenced section – 09.02c – of the Harmonised Terms and Conditions of Service for Officers 2012 , shows the officers were laid off “on disciplinary grounds i.e. serious offence”. Others, like Mr Suleiman and Mr Mohammed, had their careers abruptly cut short for reasons that smacked of high-level arbitrariness, pettiness, witch-hunting and partisanship by authorities of the Army.
The two officers – A.S.H. Sa’ad , who was at the Directorate of Military Intelligence; and Mormoni Bashir , former principal staff officer to Mr. Dasuki – were retired without indictment. Although, Mr. Sa’ad faced a panel, he was not found to have engaged in any wrongdoing.Koko Essien , a former Brigadier Commander, 2 Brigade, Port Harcourt, faced the election panel but was cleared. Mr Essien was laid off nonetheless, like Bright Fibioinumana ; L.N.
