DHQ: NO FOREIGN MILITARY BASE IN NIGERIA
By Harriet Tornguvan -Abuja
The Defence Headquarters has noted online reports claiming the arrival of the first contingent of French soldiers in Maiduguri, allegedly in preparation for establishing a French military base in Northeast Nigeria.
Major General Edward Buba Director Defence Media Operations issued a statement that the Armed Forces of Nigeria hereby states unequivocally that this information is fake, totally false and mischievous.
He continued that it would be recalled that Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, recently addressed this matter in different media forums. In which he debunked the news and such speculations.
Additionally he stated that 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.
General Buba said, the military will continue to carry out its constitutional responsibilities, most professionally and ensure the territorial integrity of our nation.
