Chinweike Morba, SDB   First Reading: 52:13-53:12 Second Reading: Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9 Gospel Reading: John 18:1-19:42   THEME: GOD PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR US   We all like sheep have gone astray; and have contracted punishments due to our disobedience; but God did not abandon us; he sent his only begotten Son to come and redeem us. He went through pain and death for us, that we may have life in abundance.   Prophet Isaiah in the first reading today, draws our attention to what Jesus did for us when he said, ā€œAll we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.ā€ Therefore, Jesus became a lamb led to be slaughtered because of our iniquities.

 No appointment of acting Chief of Army Staff, says DHQ


The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) said it has not appointed any senior officer as acting Chief of Army Staff (COAS).

It said such an appointment doesn’t exist within the Armed Forces.

The clarification came after reports in some online platforms and social media about the alleged demise of the COAS, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja.

The Nigerian Army authority clarified on Saturday that Lt.-Gen. Lagbaja was on leave and receiving medical check-ups abroad.

 It explained that before the COAS proceeded on leave, necessary protocols were put in place for the Chief of Policy and Plans (Army), Major General Abdulsalami Bagudu Ibrahim, to act on his behalf, stating there was no leadership vacuum as speculated in some quarters.

The DHQ in a statement by the Director Defence Information, Brig-Gen. Tukur Gusau, on Monday, explained that the Chief of Policy and Plans is only ā€œproviding routine briefs to the COAS in accordance with standard military procedures,ā€ and not the acting COAS, adding that such appointment doesn’t exit in the military.  

The statement reads: ā€œThe Defence Headquarters (DHQ) wishes to clarify that it has not announced the appointment of any senior officer as the acting Chief of Army Staff (COAS), contrary to speculation by certain media outlets. For the record, no such appointment exists within the Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN).

ā€œThe Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Taoreed Lagbaja, is currently on a well-deserved rest as part of his 2024 annual leave. The Armed Forces of Nigeria is professionally managed and all the Service Chiefs are performing their duties as stipulated in the Constitution of the FGN. Major General Abdulsalam Bagudu Ibrahim, the Chief of Policy and Plans, is providing routine briefs to the COAS in accordance with standard military procedures.

ā€œThe DHQ urges individuals spreading unfounded rumours to desist from doing so immediately. The COAS is hale and hearty and will soon resume normal duties at the end of his leave.
