The Defence Headquarters has refuted a viral report that the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Christopher Musa is dead.
Musa was appointed by President Bola Tinubu as the Chief of Defence Staff on June 19, 2023.
He is a member of the 38th Regular Course of the Nigerian Defence Academy and was commissioned on 21 September 1991 into the Nigerian Army Infantry Corps.
Musa holds a Master’s in Defence Studies from the National Defence University in Beijing, China.
A report by a newspaper (not Abuja City Journal) had claimed the Defence Chief had passed away.
The DHQ in a post on X on Tuesday, November 21, said: “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.”
