Pulling out Ceremony to bid Badeh Farewell To Military

Former Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief Marshal Alex Sabundu Badeh will on Thursday pull out of the military at Mogadishu Cantonment.
He presided over the military when the Boko Haram terrorists annexed some local government councils in Borno and Adamawa states.
The military was at the lowest ebb, no thanks to the failure of the United States to sell arms to Nigeria.
However, Badeh leadership of the military liberated all the local government councils when Nigeria, under President Goodluck Jonathan looked elsewhere for help.
Badeh has been replaced with Major General Gabriel Abayomi Olonisakin by President Muhammadu Buhari.

Other new service chiefs are Major-General T.Y. Buratai as Chief of Army Staff; Rear Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas as Chief of Naval Staff; and Air Vice Marshal Sadique Abubakar as Chief of Air Staff.
