The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has refuted reports claiming the demise of the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa.
Contrary to a publication by an unnamed newspaper (not The PUNCH), the DHQ, in a statement posted on X on Tuesday, affirmed that General Musa is alive and in good health.
The statement read, “Contrary to recent false publication, the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Gwabin Musa, is alive and well. Please rely on credible sources for accurate information.”
It is worth noting that General Musa assumed the position of Chief of Defence Staff on June 19, 2023, following his appointment by President Bola Tinubu.
