Those advocating for the prosecution of the Ex- service chiefs are unpatriotic- Minister of information and culture

Nigeria Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, has described Nigerians advocating for the probe of the immediate past service chiefs as unpatriotic.

The minister express his displeasure about the calls by Nigerians when he spoke live during a Radio Nigeria programme, Politics Nationwide, on Tuesday morning February 2.

Recall that, last week President Buhari had appointed four new service chiefs and relieved his former Service chiefs, General Abayomi Gabriel Olonisakin (Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. Gen. Tukur Buratai (Chief of Army Staff); Vice Admiral Ibok Ibas (Chief of Naval Staff); and Air Marshal Sadique Abubakar (Chief of Air Staff).

Shortly after the military officers were relieved of their jobs, some members of the strong opposition party PDP and some other Nigerians advocate for their probe.

While Reacting to the calls, Lai during the interview on Radio, said;

“To the best of my knowledge, our service chiefs obey the rules of engagement and where there are infractions, there are internal regulations and internal mechanisms to address them.

Those who are calling for the ex-service chiefs to be invited to ICC are unpatriotic people.

Those who talk about the structure, what do they know about the structure of the military? I don’t think any of us is competent to talk about the structure of the military”
