A known newspaper in Nigeria had reported on Tuesday that the CDS had died. The newspaper noted that it intended to report the death of the former chief of army staff, Major General Chris Alli, but “got things mixed up”.
The Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Tukur Gusau, on Tuesday, declared: “To put the records straight, the CDS, Gen. CG Musa is alive and hearty.
“The Chief of Defence Staff who just returned from an official assignment outside the country has resumed work with more vigour to continue with his uncommon leadership style to prosper the Armed Forces of Nigeria .
“The newspapers have since retracted the news story and offered its unreserved apology to the CDS, his family and the Armed Forces of Nigeria.”
