Former Governor of Ekiti state, Ayodele Fayose has called on the International Criminal Court (ICC) to commence probe on the recently retired service chiefs of Nigeria.
The Service chiefs were relieved of their jobs today January 26, having become due for retirement from service. President Buhari immediately appointed new chiefs to take over from them.
Fayose, while reacting to the development accused the former service chiefs of serving themselves and their pockets. He also told the new Service Chiefs to learn from their immediate predecessors and remember nothing lasts forever.

Though coming after persistent pressure from Nigerians, President Buhari’s removal of the Service Chiefs and their replacement is a right step in the right direction. It is yet another victory for the people of Nigeria.
The sacked Service Chiefs only served themselves and their pockets and can at best be described as “Disservice Chiefs” under whom Nigeria became completely insecured.
It is my call to the ICC and other relevant authorities that tenure of the “sacked” Service Chiefs should be investigated, most importantly human rights abuses and extra judicial killings under their watch and commands.
The new Service Chiefs should learn from their immediate predecessors and remember nothing lasts forever.
