Angola sacks army chief and spy boss in latest anti-graft move
President Joao Lourenco dismissed the two leaders in connection with ongoing corruption investigation.
The move by Lourenco on Monday is the latest against government officials tainted by corruption accusations and those perceived to have close links to former President Jose Eduardo dos Santos.
General Geraldo Sachipengo Nunda was named by prosecutors as a suspect in an investigation of a scheme to negotiate a fraudulent international credit line of $50bn.
Andre de Oliveira Sango has been the head of the southern African country's foreign intelligence agency for more than a decade under Dos Santos.
Their sackings were announced in a presidential decree broadcast on the state radio station.
