The Nigerian Army says the immediate past Commander, 3 Brigade, Kano, Brig.-Gen. M.A. Sadiq, is currently undergoing military investigation into administrative discrepancies while serving as Commander of the Brigade.
This is contained in a statement by the Director, Army Public Relations, Maj.-Gen. Onyema Nwachukwu, on Wednesday in Abuja.
Nwachukwu said that the former brigade commander was relieved of command to ensure a thorough investigation.
According to him, the Nigerian Army is a self-regulatory institution founded on the bedrock of discipline, justice, and accountability.
He said the army had zero tolerance for indiscipline and would therefore not condone any form of misconduct that could undermine the threshold of its values and principles.
“The Nigerian Army assures both our internal and external publics that the allegations will be thoroughly investigated, and appropriate administrative action will be taken.
“Our commitment to upholding the highest standards of integrity and transparency remains unwavering.
“We guarantee that the process will be fair, impartial, and in line with our established procedures,” he said. (NAN)
