The last has not been heard on why the former Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa was removed, as a Plateau State-born clergyman, Rev. Ezekiel Dachomo, has alleged that the former CDS was fired by the Nigerian government because he dealt with terrorists and insurgents decisively.
This comes after the federal government claimed that the removal of Gen. Musa and other security chiefs was due to a routine procedure targeted at strengthening security across Nigeria, the outspoken man of God said that Musa was replaced because he went against the establishment by targeting terrorists in their enclaves.
Rev. Dachomo, who made the assertion in a video shared by conflict journalist Masara Kim Usman on Thursday, argued that Musa was dismissed because he had dealt with insurgents more than any other CDS in the past, including his predecessor, Gen. Tukur Buratai, who was accused of protecting terrorists.
Speaking in the video, Rev. Dachomo said: “Let me tell you why the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, was removed. Christopher Musa was removed because he dealt with the insurgents more than any other CDS, more than Buratai. Buratai was pretending.
“Buratai was busy killing Nigerian Christian soldiers, handing them to the terrorists to kill. We had mass deaths of Christians in the Nigerian Army and the Air Force who were killed by the terrorists. It was planned by Islamic officers.
“We know… Now Christopher is gone because they were shouting, ‘We don’t want Christopher’ because we don’t want him to touch the insurgents that were brought from different countries.
“Now you have succeeded, Christopher has been removed. We will see how Muslims will be killing Muslims in the North. We are Christians, we will never kill, we will never cause problems for you. We will continue to love you, we will continue to like you,” Rev. Dachomo said.
