Former Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has urged International Criminal Court and other relevant human rights bodies to investigate the tenure of the immediate past service chiefs.
Tweeting on his official Twitter handle, Fayose demanded a probe into the human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings under the watch of the “sacked” service chiefs.
The former governor also accused the former military brass hats of serving only themselves and their pockets, while rendering Nigeria insecure.
Fayose’s statement followed the resignation of the service chiefs announced on Tuesday by President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said, “The new service chiefs should learn from their immediate predecessors and remember nothing lasts forever.
“It is my call to the ICC and other relevant authorities that the tenure of the “sacked” service chiefs should be investigated, most importantly human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings under their watch and commands.
“The sacked service chiefs only served themselves and their pockets and can at best be described as “Disservice Chiefs” under whom Nigeria became completely insecure.
“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.”
