The Defence Headquarters has denied that the Armed Forces of Nigeria didn’t receive a request to effect a change of leadership in the country, saying that DHQ is “concerned about twisted, false and disturbing social media reports.”

According to the Director of Defence Information (DDI), Brigadier General Tukur Gusau in Abuja on Sunday explained that “the AFN never received nor made such declaration at any time to anyone or any group.

“We believe this statement came from those who do not wish the nation well. It is surely the wicked imagination of a few who are not happy with the progress and well-being of our dear country.

“The AFN  is very comfortable with democracy and remains loyal to the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, His Excellency President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR. The military is always willing and ready to defend the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We urge those peddling such falsehood to desist from such or face the law.  The Military and indeed other security agencies are on the look-out for these agents of doom. We must all join hands to strengthen our democracy,” Brig Gen Gusau reiterated.
