The outgoing Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, outgoing Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Farouk Yahaya, and his counterpart in the Nigerian Navy, Vice Admiral Awwal Gambo, will on Friday hand over to their successors.
He said, “The process for the handover has started already. The outgoing COAS met virtually with commanders in the morning and in the evening he met with heads of the service’s establishments. At the meetings, he appreciated them for their support. He urged them to extend similar support to his successor. There are a lot of things like the handover note that must be put in place before the taking-over ceremony; but tentatively, the handover should hold on Friday.
The spokesperson for the service, Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan, in the statement on Wednesday said, “The media reports are totally lies, misleading, and capable of spreading falsehood to unsuspecting members of the public.”
