Major General Chris Olukolade Sacked as Director of Defense Information



Nigeria's Chief of Army Staff Major General Tukur Buratai has removed Major General Chris Olukolade as the Director of Defense Information.

The decision was announced by the Acting Director of Army Public Relations Colonel SK Usman.

He will be replaced by Colonel Rabe Abubakar.

Major General Olukolade has made headlines in recent months for publishing books on the Nigerian military as well as for attacking the military spokesman from Niger on Twitter.

General Olukalade was at one time Commander of the Nigerian Army Information School, Bonny Camp in Lagos. He became the Army spokesman in March 2013.
