The Nigeria Army has said that they do not keep the certificates of any serving or retired officer or soldier, Vanguard has reported.
This is coming a few days after Buhari, who is the presidential candidate of the opposition APC, explained in an affidavit submitted to the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, that all his academic credentials were with the Military Board,
Vanguard quoted a military source who said "The Army can not keep anybody’s original certificate because it is the personal property of the owner. Such original certificates were only needed at the point of entry into the service."
According to the source, the Military only kept photocopies of credentials of officers and soldiers in their personal files that were in the military secretary’s office.
“The original certificate of any officer or soldier is only needed at the point of entry into the service either as a cadet officer entering the Nigerian Defence Academy, or the recruitment officers when interviewing recruits to be sent to the depot for training. That is so, because they are needed to verify what were in the photocopies supplied by them or from the necessary examining bodies.”
The source, according to Vanguard , further stated that anybody claiming that his original certificates were with the Military Secretary (Army), had ‘’ulterior motive(s) or something he or she cannot explain.’’
