The measure is taken almost two weeks after the attacks on the headquarters of the three state powers in Brasilia.

Arruda had assumed the position on an interim basis on December 30, two days before the end of the government of the far-right Jair Bolsonaro, and was confirmed by the Lula administration in the first week of January.
He will be replaced by the military commander of the southeast, Tomás Ribeiro Paiva, according to GloboNews.
