The appointment of Maj. Gen. Faruk Yahaya as the new Chief of Army Staff may lead to the forced retirement of over 50 Generals.

IDOMA VOICE reported that President Buhari on Thursday appointed Gen. Yahaya who is of the Course 37 of the Nigeria Defence Academy as the new Chief of Army Staff, to replace Lt. Gen. Ibrahim Attahiru, who died alongside 8 other officers in a plane crash last week.

In the military tradition, when a junior General is appointed Chief of Army Staff, his seniors are expected to retire.
