Usman disclosed this while recting to what he called “a correspondence making the rounds in some media regarding an administrative procedure to review some recent disciplinary cases in the Nigerian Army.
The statement however cautioned that “The public should not misconstrue the recent directive to mean total recall of dismissed and deserter soldiers.”
It would be recalled that some officers and soldiers have been tried by court martial following alleged lapses during the battle against Boko Haram insurgents in the northeast.
