DHQ: No foreign military base in Nigeria
The Defence Headquarters has refuted claims that the French military is planning to establish a base in Nigeria.
In a statement on Monday, Major General Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations, dismissed reports alleging that French soldiers had arrived in Maiduguri to set up a base in the Northeast.
The DHQ called the reports “fake, totally false, and mischievous,” reiterating statements previously made by Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, who had already debunked such rumors in media appearances.
Buba urged the public to disregard the speculations, labeling them as the work of mischief-makers.
He assured that the Nigerian military will continue to carry out its constitutional duties with professionalism and safeguard the nation’s territorial integrity.
