According to PUNCH President Muhammadu Buhari may sack the country's security chiefs in a major shake-up in the top echelons of the Nigerian military.
   
It is believed that service chiefs and other senior officers across the various arms of the military might be relieved of their posts to pave way for new hands.

It was gathered that all but one of the military chiefs would be disengaged by the President, while appointing new officers who would be expected to implement the new phase of the war against the Boko Haram sect in the North-East.

Sources said that there was anxiety in the military over the looming change of guard which is expected to affect all the services, including the Army, Navy, and the Air Force.

A source said that the President may be considering one of the service chiefs to ensure smooth transition between the present military chiefs and their successors.
