Corruption: List of some of the sacked senior army officers

 
A list of some of the senior officers who were allegedly sacked by the Nigerian army for being linked to corruption has been published by Sahara Reporters.
Reports on Saturday indicated that dozens of army officers were sent packing on Friday in a move to rid the armed forces of corruption.
The senior officers were accused of corruption and the theft of billions of dollars meant to buy arms to fight the Boko Haram Islamic insurgency.
Some had already been handed over to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
The Cable quoted Sani Usman, a colonel and army spokesperson as saying the compulsory retirement was based on "service exigencies".

"It should be recalled that not too long ago, some officers were investigated for being partisan during the 2015 general election.
"Similarly, the investigation by the presidential committee investigating defence contracts revealed a lot. Some officers have already been arraigned in court by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission(EFCC),"Usman was quoted as saying.

See below, the list of some of the officers, according to Sahara Reporters.

'Lost' Memories Restored in Mice

In a feat that calls to mind the memory-tweaking technology in the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," a team of researchers restored "lost memories" in the brains of mice. The mice in the study were given a drug that prevented them from consolidating a fearful memory. But when neurons involved in encoding the memory were stimulated with pulses of light, the animals were able to retrieve the forgotten recollection. In some forms of amnesia, past memories may not be erased, but may just be inaccessible for recall, said Susumu Tonegawa, director of the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan and co-author of the study, said in a statement. If the findings are confirmed in humans, the knowledge could benefit people who suffer from retrograde amnesia, an inability to recall memories that were made before the amnesia, which is common in traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's disease and other brain disorders. Scientists have long debated whether retrograde ...
