DHQ Debunks Online Reports Of Foreign Military Base In Nigeria.

By Helen Udo,Outlook Media ABUJA.

  The attention of Defence Headquarters has been drawn to online reports alleging the arrival of  the first  contingent of French soldiers in Maiduguri towards  establishing a French Military base in North East Nigeria. 

The Armed Forces of Nigeria hereby  states unequivocally that this information is fake, totally false and mischievous. It would be recalled that  Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa CFR,  recently addressed this matter in different media forums. In which he debunked  the news and such  speculations.

Accordingly, the general public is urged to disregard these news and speculations still making rounds in some quarters. It is clear that these are the antics of mischief makers.

Nevertheless, the  military will continue to carry out its constitutional responsibilities, most  professionally and ensure the territorial integrity of our nation. Kindly disseminate, please.
