ABUJA-THE Defence Headquarters, has dismissed rumours making the rounds that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin and the Chief of Naval State, Vice Admiral Ibok Ete-Ibas have been removed by President Muhammadu Buhari.

It asked people to discountenance the rumours, even as it advised people to try to get their information from the appropriate top echelon of the Armed Forces before releasing such information. Brigadier General Rabe Abubakar, Director of Information, Defence Headquarters, dismissed the rumour in a telephone interview with Vanguard some minutes ago.

The Defence Headquarters’ spokesman, who expressed disappointment that the conventional media carried the false report like the social media, wondered where the false story emanated from. “It is unfortunate that the false information was not only on the social media but also the conventional media. It is very wrong. We don’t know where these people are getting their information from.

“The information is wrong and false. We are issuing statement very soon. ” Like I said, we don’t know where these people are getting their information from. Issues of this importance should be cleared from the highest echelon.

“You don’t just create news. To the best of our knowledge, nothing like that happened. They are just circulating the false information for circulating sake.

“We will soon issue press release to that effect, that people should discountenance this kind of rumour. It is not true and it is not true, “he emphasised.

Confused Federal Government

These people are just playing with our intelligence mean while APC and denials are like bread and butter

It simply means there are plans to remove them before the information got leaked. Presidency will soon dissociate themselves from the news now. Sooner or later it will still happen.

I tire for them

Social Media and propaganda are like this...

Fake news flying everywhere!

BLoggers... SMH

Thye just wake up with fake news to generate traffic

Did anyone else notice that CDS Gabriel was the most quiet CDS we've had in recent time? It really felt like COAS Tukur buratai was the CDS while gabriel was a mere figurehead (perhaps to appease the south)

Ipods and their foolish bloggers are like bread and butter. They can also believe anything so far it emanates from the opposition. We have left them with their wahala. Thank God Buhari no dey look their side. Who cares what they think.

In every rumour there is truth

Thank you sir for the clarification.

A new trend is being deployed by enemies of state.

They will release a fake information to the social media space, when govt comes out to set the records straight, the dimnits will then be shouting up and down that govt is engaging in denials.

What's this one saying? Who is denying what? Were the Service Chiefs sacked? So wrong information from mischief makers should be accepted so that they will not be accused of denial? Nawao.
