Barely one week after the bombing of
St. Andrews Protestant Military Church at the Armed Forces Command and Staff
College, Jaji, Kaduna State, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Admiral Ola Sa’ad
Ibrahim, has relieved the College’s Commandant, Air Vice Marshal I. A. Kure,
and the Infantry Corps Commander, Major General M. D. Isa of their
appointments.
Their removal was predicated upon
the report of the Board of Inquiry constituted to investigate circumstances
surrounding last Sunday’s bombing of the church. A statement issued
yesterday by Defence Headquarters, signed by its spokesman, Colonel Mohammed
Yerima, and made available to the media in Abuja, revealed that Kure and Isa
were sent back to their various services, the Air Force and Army headquarters
for further action.
Air Vice Marshal E.E. Osim was
appointed to replace Air Vice Marshal I. A. Kure as Commandant, Armed Forces
Command and Staff College (AFCSC), while Maj-Gen K.C. Osuji would act as Corps
Commander, Infantry, Jaji. After the bombing, the CDS visited the scene
for assessment, after which he went into a crucial session with the Principal
Staff Officers of the College, where Sunday Sun learnt he read the riot act
over the security situation at the college.
