A few ppl are asking for a steer on the news that @MBuhari has nominated #Nigeria's immediate past #ServiceChiefs to be non-career ambassadors. Some are worried that a diplomatic passport may grant them roving impunity. So, let me explain briefly [THREAD]

Briefly, this isn't exactly good news for the former #ServiceChiefs. To begin with, to enjoy #SovereignImmunity (that's what it's called) in international law, they have to be accredited to another sovereign as Nigeria's ambassadors. Carrying a diplomatic passport isn't enough
Separately, that other country has to agree to accredit them. I suspect with the record of at least some of them, few credible countries will do so. They cld, of course, be accredited to Myanmar's Generals or to Putin's Russia or to Venezuela or Zimbabwe.

2/ Yesterday, Nigeria's Prez. @MBuhari & his Chief of @HQNigerianArmy Staff, #TukurBuratai, in their statements subtly disclosed they are aware of the root causes of Nigeria's broken internal security architecture, that has degenerated in #MassKillings by TERRORISTS & BANDITS.
3/ In an interview with @THISDAYLIVE @ARISEtv & @thecableng, #TukurBuratai disclosed that his principal @MBuhari knows how to end the madness by BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS & BANDITS, across Northern & Southern Nigeria, arguing that sacking #ServiceChiefs won't end the #MassKillings.
