Insecurity: Army To Transfer Personnel From Schools To Frontline

• Due to the level of Insecurity in the country, the Nigerian Army is set to transfer personnel from schools to frontline.

The Nigerian army has withdrawn its personnel studying in various schools.

The development follows a new directive by Ibrahim Attahiru, the chief of army staff.

Soldiers and officers of the Nigerian army who wish to further their study are usually allowed to do so.

But the new directive comes as the military needs more personnel in tackling Nigeria’s growing insecurity, particularly insurgency and banditry.

A senior officer who informed TheCable of the development on Saturday said: “The army currently lacks adequate manpower especially in the fight against Boko Haram, so the chief (of staff) directed that we bring all of the personnel back to their units first, and then, they are subsequently deployed to the frontline.”

Mohammed Yerima, army spokesperson, also confirmed the development to TheCable, saying that the security agency can withdraw its personnel from school at any time, especially during a war.
