DHQ debunks CDS’ rumoured death

Published by

The Military High Command, on Tuesday, dismissed the false death of the Chief of Defence Staff, CDS General Christopher Musa who was said to have passed away on Monday.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja by Director Defence Information, DDI, Brig-General Tukur Gusau, the Defence Headquarters said that the report was unfortunate, unethical and lack credibility.

The statement reads, “The attention of the Defence Headquarters has been drawn to an unfortunate publication by an online newspaper alleging that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa passed away yesterday

” The report is unfortunate, unethical and lacks credibility.

“To put the records straight, 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 has since retracted the news story and offered its unreserved apology to the CDS, his family and the Armed Forces of Nigeria.”
