The Defence Headquarters’s attention 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 state 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. 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.
