Adeniyi, ex-Operation Lafiya Dole commander to face court martial

2

Immediate past commander of Operation Lafiya Dole (OPLD), the counter-terrorism initiative in the North-East, Major-General O.G. Adeniyi, is to face a General Court Martial (GCM) any moment from now. This much was contained in the memo of postings and appointment/amendment/deletion of Nigerian Army officers released July 13.

Adeniyi, who was recently redeployed from the theatre to the Nigerian Army Resource Centre, is to report to the Army Headquarters Garrison for jurisdiction with effect from July 20.

Although the reason for the GCM was not immediately known, it was gathered that it might not be unconnected with activities of the senior officer while in the theatre.

The commander of the counter-terrorism headquarters in the North-East was allegedly removed for “exposing inferior military wares and poor equipment of troops while briefing the COAS from combat zone after successfully repelling an attack by Boko Haram insurgents.”

It was gathered that arrangements have been concluded to set up the GCM after the Military Police and the intelligence arm of the army submit reports where charges to be used would be filed.

With the new posting, Adeniyi is expected to report to the AHQ Garrison on July 20. (Daily Sun)
