Worried by fake online report, the Defence Headquarters has debunked report claiming death of the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa.
It declared that the CDS is alive and hearty.
This was contained in a statement by the Director, Defence Information, Bridgadier General, Tukur Gusau. It was made available to Security Watch Africa (SWA).
It reads “The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to an unfortunate publication by an online news paper alledging 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,” it stated.
