NIGERIAN ARMY IS NOT PLANNING TO ATTACK ANY COUNTRY

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a publication by Premium Times online news medium titled "EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria raises troops for Gambia, ready to remove Yahya Jammeh".
This is not true.

Consequently, Nigerian Army wishes to disassociate itself from such false information that exists only in the figment of the imagination of the medium. There was no time or place Nigerian Army disclosed such information to the medium. If there is any, we challenge them to name the officer or soldier that gave them such information and when.

For the avoidance of doubt, Nigerian Army is not planning to attack any country.

It should be noted that such reckless and unprofessional conduct is not expected of any reputable and responsible news medium as it is inimical to national security.

The publication apart from being false in its entirety, it is unethical and capable of endangering the lives of Nigerians in diaspora.

The medium is please requested to always clarify such matters affecting national security and diplomatic issues that may endanger the safety and security of Nigerians abroad to avoid such misleading and embarrassing publication.

You are please requested to disseminate this information to the public through your medium.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

Brigadier General Sani Kukasheka Usman

Why is premium times bent on trying the resolve of the Army

I don't why premium times can be this foolish. They posted that fake information to get back at Nigeria Military.

Don't they know this could cause serious unrest in Gambia , where supporter of the Gambia President , can get provoked and begin to harm Nigerian in Gambia

This whole drama started from Nigerian Army legal threats to premium time https://www.nairaland.com/3567359/nigerian-army-writes-premium-times
But premium times decided to fight back with this

My annoyance with premium times is why publish a fake untrue and harmful story against your security agencies when you know quite well that such story can cause serious unrest in both Countries .
This could lead to civil unrest. If not properly managed.
I hereby call on premium Time to tender an apology to Nigeria and the Military
