The Chief of Army Staff, Lt Gen Azubike Ihejirika, yesterday, said that the recent changes at the Jaji Cantonment had no religious coloration but purely military routine.
The leadership of the Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) had earlier criticised the military authorities for removing the Commandant of the Armed Forces Command and Staff College (AFCSC), Jaji, Kaduna State, Air Vice Marshal Abdullahi Kure, and the Corps Commander, Infantry, Jaji, Major Gen. Muhammad D. Isa, over the recent twin-bomb blasts that rocked the military cantonment.
The group in a statement signed by its Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, in Kaduna, condemned the removal of the two officers who are Muslims and replaced them with officers who are Christians, but the Army authorities have faulted the argument stating the changes have nothing to do with religion of those that were involved.?
