The Defence Headquarters has described as  unfortunate, unethical and lack of credibility of a report by an online newspaper publication alleging that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa passed away yesterday.

The Director Defence information, Bridgadier General Tukur Gusau in a statement said the Defence Headquarters attention was drawn to the unfortunate publication hence the need for the reactions.

"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 have since  retracted the news story and offered its unreserved apology to the CDS, his family and the  Armed Forces of Nigeria," he said.
