Army Retires Officer Who Claimed Buhari’s Certificate Was Missing

The Nigerian Army Council has retired the former spokesman of the Nigerian Army, Brig.-Gen. Olajide Laleye who claimed President Muhammadu Buhari certificate was missing in the Army records.


He was retired alongside Brig.-Gen. Aliyu Momoh, who was indicted in the conduct of the 2015 elections in Ekiti State and other officers.

It would be recalled that the former Director, Army Public Relations, Laleye, had addressed a press on the controversy over the secondary school certificate of the then presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari.
