The development is a fallout from the of the order by military authorities to senior officers and other participants at this year’s Chief of Army Staff Conference to proceed on self-isolation after one of them, Maj. Gen. John Irefin, died of COVID-19.
A statement released by acting Director, Army Public Relations, Brig. Gen. Sagir Musa, said Buratai would not be in position to receive guests at Hamisu’s wedding on account that he is self-isolating.
The statement read in part, “The Chief of Army Staff, on behalf of his family, feels honoured to sincerely appreciate, thank and welcome all dignitaries and invited guests to his son’s wedding slated for Friday, December 11.
“However, due to the resurgence of the pandemic in the FCT, Buratai will be unable to personally attend to, receive, or meet you at the event. All inconveniences are hereby regretted please.”
