The Nigerian Army is unhappy with media media houses who use the old official portrait of the Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya

In a statement on Friday, the Army lamented that the old portrait which has Yahaya with the rank of Major General is still being used by media houses.

The statement reads;

“Following the appointment and subsequent decoration of the Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Faruk Yahaya, an official portrait was produced and disseminated to the media houses via various social media platforms and forums.
