President Lula has sacked Brazil's army chief — the dismissal comes after the Jan. 8 uprising by far-right protesters.

The unrest erupted when supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro stormed government buildings, calling for a military intervention to overthrow the newly elected Lula.

Last week, Lula said he suspected collusion by "people in the armed forces" in the unrest and questioned if he could trust military personnel with his security.

Later, the president's office announced that federal police would replace the army officers on his security details.
