The Nigerian Military will be withdrawing troops from some parts of the country with effect from the first quarter of 2020.
The Chief of Naval Staff, Ibok-Ete Ibas, announced this to State House correspondents shortly at the end of the security meeting held on Monday with President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja.
Ibok-Ete Ibas explained that the withdrawal was to enable civil authorities to take over the duties of ensuring the security of lives and property in such places.
