Army commander behind Oyo school abduction victims’ rescue redeployed, gets successor
Auwalu Mahmuda, a major general has assumed duty as the 56th General Officer Commanding (GOC) of the Nigerian Army’s 2 Division in Ibadan, Oyo State, taking over from Chinedu Nnebeife, whose tenure was marked by one of the military’s most significant internal security operations this year, the rescue of abducted schoolchildren and teachers in the state.
The Ibadan-based 2 Division remains one of the Nigerian Army’s strategic formations, providing military support for internal security operations across several South-west states.
Mr Mahmuda’s appointment comes at a period when the 2 Division continues to play a frontline role in counter-insurgency anti-kidnapping operations and internal security efforts across the South-west.
