Some of the 38 officers of the Nigerian Army illegally dismissed from service in 2016 have written an appeal letter to the federal government, demanding their reinstatement and payment of their salaries and emoluments.
PREMIUM TIMES reported how Danladi Hassan, a colonel, and 37 others were compulsorily retired on 09 June 2016 without being charged by a court martial or found guilty of any offence under the Armed Forces extant rules and regulations.
Mr Hassan had in 2014 led troops to reclaim Bulabulin and Damboa from Boko Haram insurgents. Commissioned in September 1994, the senior military officer had taken part in several foreign missions including the ECOMOG operations in Liberia, and Sierra Leone, as well as the United Nations Mission in Sudan.
