Following the insurrection by soldiers in Maiduguri, leading to their indiscriminate shooting at the Maimalari Barracks on Wednesday, the Nigerian Army has removed the embattled General Officer Commanding (GOC), 7 Division, Nigerian Army Maiduguri, Major-General Ahmadu Mohammed, and replaced him with Brigadier-General M. Y. Ibrahim.
Mohammed narrowly escaped being killed by the angry soldiers, some of whom fired their guns at his car. The soldiers were protesting the death of their colleagues, following an ambush by Boko Haram members on Tuesday. Already, a committee to investigate the mutiny has been set up by the military authorities.
Culled from all african news.
