Buhari Sacks Security Service

President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday relieved the nation's service
chiefs of their appointments.

Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Mr. Femi
Adesina, said this while speaking to State House correspondents on
Monday.

Adesina, who did not give more details, added that the Presidency was
preparing a statement on the sacking, which would be made available to
newsmen.

Their replacements had neither been named as of the time of writing this report.

There has been an escalation in terror attacks by Boko Haram militants
in the country in recent times, leading to the killing of more than
500 people in less than four weeks.

Details later.
