"Tinubu's Major Security Reshuffle: Service Chiefs and IGP Sacked"

Nigeria's President Bola Tinubu has removed the security chiefs and head of police less than a month after taking office, as part of a major reshuffle of the defence forces. Tinubu has made security a priority and promised reforms to the sector, including recruitment of more soldiers and police officers, while paying and equipping them better. The military is stretched fighting a long-running Islamist insurgency in the northeast and banditry and kidnappings for ransom in the northwest as insecurity has spread to most parts of the country.
