Army denied appointing Lieutenant General LO Adeosun as Chief of Army Staff

Nigeria army has denied the rumours making round the social media that Lieutenant General LO Adeosun has been appointed as the Chief of Army Staff of the Nigeria army.

Army in a press release, signed by Colonel SAGIR MUSA, the Acting Director of Army Public Relations on 9th of July 2019, said the information of his appointment is not true, as such advice the general public to disregard the rumours.
In the same vein, army said LO Adeosun was specially and newly promoted from Major general to lieutenant general, but Adeosun is still the chief of training & operations in the Nigerian army.

Colonel Musa said, “Contrary to fake news going round insinuating or suggesting appointment of Lieutenant General LO Adeosun as Chief of Army Staff of the Nigerian Army, members of the public are hereby once again informed that Lieutenant General LO Adeosun has just been given special/accelerated promotion from Major General to Lieutenant General and formally communicated to him by the Chief of Army Staff Lt Gen TY Buratai.

“Lt Gen LO Adeosun is only granted special promotion by the President, Commander -in – Chief, of the Armed Forced of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari for his extra ordinary feats, exemplary leadership, loyalty and uncommon commitment in the counter insurgency operation in the North Eastern part of Nigeria. He still retains his appointment/position as Chief of Training and Operations of the Nigerian Army.

Any contrary information is baseless, fake news and should be disregarded.”
