The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has dismissed reports suggesting the presence or planned establishment of foreign military bases in Nigeria, including claims about a French military base in the North East.
In a statement on Monday, Major General Edward Buba, Director of Defence Media Operations, debunked allegations circulating online that French soldiers had arrived in Maiduguri to set up a base.
“These claims are false and baseless,” Buba stated, urging the public to disregard the rumors, which he described as attempts by mischief-makers to create unnecessary panic.
He reassured Nigerians that the military remains committed to its constitutional mandate of safeguarding the nation’s territorial integrity and ensuring security.
