ABUJA — The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has dismissed a viral video circulating on social media that falsely portrays the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) and misrepresents the leadership of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Director of Defence Information, Major General Samaila Uba, described the video as fabricated, misleading and designed to spread misinformation.
According to him, the video falsely portrays the Chief of Defence Staff and, in some instances, attempts to misidentify the individual featured as the Chief of Army Staff.
