A human right lawyer, Chief Mike Ozekhome (SAN), said the current service chiefs, aside the fact that their tenure expired more than two years ago, have also passed their statutory age while insecurity has risen under their watch. “Number one, the tenure of the service chiefs expired over two years ago, both statutorily and unconstitutionally. But the bad news is that these service chiefs have not helped the country’s security apparatus and architecture. Yet, the service chiefs have no answer to these security challenges,” Ozekhome said. S.18 ( 1&2) of the Armed Forces Act governs the appointment of the service chiefs.
