Defence Headquarters has debunked news making the headlines that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa is dead.
According to a press release signed by Bridgadier General Tukur Gusau, Director, Defence Information on the 21 November, 2023, pointed out that 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.
” You are please requested to use your medium to inform the general public. Thank you for your usual cooperation”, he added.
