“Defence Headquarters discredits allegation to truncate Elections.”

The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has dissociated itself from alleged plans by the Armed Forces of Nigeria to truncate the country’s democracy.

The force dismissed the malicious propaganda peddled by unscrupulous elements that some military officers were already plotting to disrupt the forthcoming general elections.

Brig.-Gen. Gusau makes clarifications

The Acting Director of Defence Information, Brig.-Gen. Tukur Gusau, in a statement on Saturday in Abuja, indicated that the Armed Forces of Nigeria was dismayed that even politically exposed persons had denigrated themselves into joining the agents of destabilisation and violence in making false claims to heighten tension in the polity.

He said that the unscrupulous elements claimed that some military officers met with a Presidential candidate to disrupt the general elections and set the country on fire.

According to him, the purveyors of the wicked and very malicious propaganda also indicated that a so-called Thursday meeting is plotting a Coup d’etat to establish unconstitutional order.

The Defence spokesman said those who made the false claims were agents of destabilisation and violence seeking to heighten tension in the polity and would be made to face the wrath of the law.

“It needs to be stated that the Armed Forces of Nigeria is a professional military loyal to the constitution of the Federal Republic and will never be part of any evil plot against our democracy.

“Besides, the Military remains apolitical and neutral in the current political process and will not engage in the alleged shenanigans.

“The Armed Forces of Nigeria will never be part of any ignoble plot to truncate our hard-earned democracy,” he said.

Gusau said the military high command would ensure that those who fabricated and spread the unfounded report were invited by appropriate law enforcement agencies to substantiate their claims.
