(Bloomberg) -- Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi replaced his head of intelligence and removed the army chief.
Julio Dos Santos Jane, who was the police commander, is now director general of the State Intelligence and Security Service, the government said in an emailed statement on Tuesday.
Jane replaced Lagos Henriques Lidimo, who was appointed in January, while Graca Tomas Chongo was dismissed as army chief.
Nyusi didn't name a new police chief or head of the army.
