Usman replaces Laleye as Army spokesman

The authorities of the Nigerian Army have
appointed the Deputy Director, Army Public
Relations of the 7th Division, Maiduguri, Col. Sani
Usman, as the new Director, Army Public
Relations.
Usman replaces Bridg.-Gen Olajide Laleye, who
has been redeployed to the 4th Division, NA, Benin,
as the Commander.
Laleye had, in the wake of the Maj. Gen.
Muhammadu Buhari’s certificate saga, said the
Army had the credentials of retired and serving
Army officers, adding that any affected officer only
needed to apply for it.
The authorities, however, made another
pronouncement on Tuesday that the photocopies
and originals of Buhari’s certificates were not with
the Army.
The Government College(Provincial College),
Katsina, where the former Head of State completed
his secondary school education in 1961, had since
issued and made public Buhari’s Cambridge/
WASCE result to close the controversy surrounding
the retired military officer’s secondary school
certificate.
