The newly appointed Acting Chief of Army Staff, Maj.-Gen. Olufemi Oluyede, on Friday, assumed command as the first officer to be so appointed in that capacity in the history of Nigerian Army.

Recall that President Bola Tinubu had on Wednesday appointed Oluyede as Acting COAS, pending when the substantive COAS, Lt.-Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, returns from medical leave.

Mr Lagbaja has been away on medical leave for about a month in an undisclosed hospital abroad and said to be recuperating.
