According to report trending online, Fresh details has emerged on the mass resignation letter from the Nigerian High-Ranking Military Officers which was announced in the early hours of Saturday, June 17, days after the controversial Arewa ‘Kaduna Declaration’ which ordered Biafrans living in the north to vacate the region within 3 months or face mass attack.
The army spokesperson, Major-General John Enenche, explained the resignation of the officers was based on “Biafra Agitations”.
It also signified that cases of partnership (due to some unfair practices during the 2015 election and in the war against Boko Haram) and corruption (Dasuki gate scandal) are behind their decision.
The exact number of other officers is still unclear.
The latest move affected 82 officers and as stated by the report, about 200 Southern Sergeants tendered a letter of resignation.
