Oh my! See how close this plane came to hitting cars during landing

This happened as a plane tried to land at an airport in Costa Rica. It came within a few feet of cars as it grazed an airport perimeter fence. The Airbus 340 was traveling from Madrid to San Jose when it came so close to ground level. It happened as pilots changed descent pattern on approach because of difficult winds but airport authority insist it was a normal and 'controlled landing' and no one was in danger.

Nigerian Army confirms the retirement of some high ranking officers accused of looting

In a statement issued by the acting Director of Army Public Relations, Colonel Sani Kukasheka Usman, the Nigerian army has confirmed the retirement of some officers which include; Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. The statement reads,

The Nigerian Army wishes to inform the general public that quite a number of senior officers of the Nigerian Army were retired from service yesterday.

Those retired were mainly some Major Generals, Brigadier Generals, Colonels, Lieutenant Colonels and a Major. Their 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 Elections.

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).

The military must remain apolitical and professional at all times. We must applaud and support this laudable and bold initiative by the government.

The Federal Government since May 29, 2015 have seized over 350 buildings through the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission, ICPC, and the Eonomic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

“The average annual expenditure on rent for the three from period 2012 to 2014 was N3.55bn. The issuance of price guidelines and initiatives for reducing expenditure on rent on office and residential buildings will be the primary focus in the coming months. And to achieve that, we are yalready looking at using properties that were forfeited from recoveries and moving some of our agencies to occupy those properties rather than paying rent.”
