Buhari urged by Court order Buhari to sack COAS
The Federal High Court in Abuja has been told to compel President Muhammadu Buhari to sack the Chief of Army Staff (COAS), General Faruk Yahaya owing to his conviction for contempt by a High Court in Niger State.
The request forms a relief in a suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/2236/2022 filed on Friday by a lawyer, Johnmary Jideobi.
Listed as defendants in the suit are Yahaya, President Buhari and the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF), Abubakar Malami.
Justice Halima Abdulmalik of the High Court of Niger State on November 30 convicted Yahaya and the Commandant Training and Doctrine Command Minna, Major General Stevenson Olugbenga Olabanji, for willfully disobeying an earlier order made on October 12.
Justice Abdulmalik ordered that they be jailed until they purge themselves of the act of contempt.
