Nigeria’s Chief of Army Staff (COAS), Lt-Gen Taoreed Abiodun Lagbaja, yesterday told troops of the country’s armed forces to disregard rumours being peddled around that the military had been given marching orders to invade Niger Republic.
This he said was far from the truth however he told them to be combat ready at all times, stressing that “the Nigerian Army is ready to defend Nigeria’s territorial integrity if the need arises”
Lagbaja who was addressing troops of the 8 Division, Sokoto , advised that any information that did not emanate from Defence Headquarters is false and should be disregarded.
The army chief who spoke when he commissioned the newly built 8 Division assured the people of Sokoto State that the Nigerian Army would remain resolute in dealing with prevailing security threats across the country.
