GOC Attacked by Soldiers Wasn’t Retired - DHQ

The Defence Headquarters have debunked the news that made rounds earlier on Wednesday, that the former General Officer Commanding the 7 Division of the Nigeria Army, Maiduguri, Maj. Gen. Abubakar Mohammed has been retired following the attack by soldiers at their barracks in Maiduguri last May.

"FYA: The former GOC of 7 Division has not been retired as being propagated by the Media. The General is still in active service as at today," they stated.  

Recall that it was earlier reported in the media that the Nigeria Military authorities have retired the former General Officer Commanding the 7 Division of the Nigerian Army, Maiduguri, Maj. Gen. Abubakar Mohammed, who was attacked by soldiers at their barracks in Maiduguri on May 14.

However, the Defence Headquarters have disclosed that contrary to this information, he was not retired.
