Army Denies Reports that They Cant Find Buharis Academic Records: The director of public relations of the Nigerian Army, Brigadier Olaleye Lajide, has confirmed being in possession of the academic credentials of Gen Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). This is contrary to initial reports that the Nigerian Army could not find his academic records. Reports in the media earlier suggested that the Army could not find the credentials of the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, APC, but Brigadier Lajide described the reports as false. The military spokesman made the disclosure while responding to a text message from SaharaReporters seeking clarification about the status of Buhari’s records. Brigadier Lajide affirmed that the Nigerian Army is in possession of all records of serving, retired and deceased officers since its inception. He stated further that the army responds to such requests in an expeditious manner. Brigadier Lajide explained that he was a former director of records at the Nigerian Army headquarters and had seen records of older and retired generals. He added that he was in no doubt that General Buhari’s records were intact. Brigadier Olaleye insisted that the claim in a major Nigerian newspaper, that the army could not locate Buhari’s record was untrue.
