The Presidency has said that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin, is due to retire next week having satisfied the official number of years in service.

Special Adviser on Media and Publicity to the President, Femi Adesina, disclosed this, on Monday, while reacting to media reports that President Muhammadu Buhari has replaced Olonisakin and the Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas.

In a statement issued in Abuja, Adesina described as untrue and false the story that the two service chiefs had been replaced by the president.

The statement reads: “It is necessary to respond to a fictive story published in today’s edition of New Telegraph Newspaper to the effect that President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the replacement of Chief of Defence Staff, General Gabriel Olonisakin and Chief of Naval Staff, Vice-Admiral Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, as service chiefs.

“The newspaper, rather than rush to print an unsubstantiated story, would have done better to confirm the information at its disposal, from many available military and government information channels.
