The Defence Headquarters has denied an online medium information alleging that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa is dead.
in a statement by the Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, Defence Headquarters said, the report is unfortunate, unethical and lack of credibility.
According to the statement, “The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to an unfortunate publication by an online news paper alleging that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa passed away yesterday. The report is unfortunate, unethical and lack credibility.
“To put the records straigth the CDS, General CG Musa is alive and hearty. The Chief of Defence Staff who just returned from an official assignment outside the country has resumed work with more vigour to continue with his uncommon leadership style to prosper the Armed Forces of Nigeria .
“The online newspaper have since retracted the news story and offered its unreserved apology to the CDS, his family and the Armed Forces of Nigeria,” the statement said.
