Why I appointed Gen Yahaya as Chief of Army Staff – Buhari
Isa served the country at great personal risk and was never afraid to pay the supreme sacrifice, Buhari added.
Isa was formerly Provost Marshall of the Nigerian Army and Director of Peacekeeping Operation, Defence headquarters.
In November 2011, when Lieutenant-General Azubuike Ihejirika was Army Chief, Isa was elevated from Brigadier-General to Major-General.
