Nigerian Army redeploy Commanding Officer shot at by subordinates

The Nigerian Army has redeployed the General Officer Commanding (GOC) of 7 Division in Borno state, Major General Ahmed Mohammed to an unknown location.

While a succession has already been activated, the army did not state where he is being redeployed.

The move became necessary after angry soldiers at Maimalari Cantonment in Borno State fired gun shots in the air, in what appeared to be a revolt against their General Officer Commanding.

The soldiers were said to be angry after seeing the bodies of their colleagues who were reportedly killed in an ambush By Boko Haram insurgents while returning from patrol in Chibok.

While no one was injured during the incident an investigation has been launched to find out why the subordinates shot at the major general.
