The Nigerian Army has issued a statement in which it challenged a story titled “EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria raises troops for Gambia, ready to remove Yahya Jammeh”, published by an online medium (PremiumTimes).

The army assured that there is no plan to attack any country, urging the news medium to stop publishing misleading and embarrassing stories, as “such reckless and unprofessional conduct” could endanger the lives of Nigerians living abroad.

Full Statement:

The attention of the Nigerian Army has been drawn to a publication by Premium Times online news medium titled “EXCLUSIVE: Nigeria raises troops for Gambia, ready to remove Yahya Jammeh”. This is not true.
Consequently, Nigerian Army wishes to disassociate itself from such false information that exists only in the figment of the imagination of the medium. There was no time or place Nigerian Army disclosed such information to the medium. If there is any, we challenge them to name the officer or soldier that gave them such information and when.
For the avoidance of doubt, Nigerian Army is not planning to attack any country.
It should be noted that such reckless and unprofessional conduct is not expected of any reputable and responsible news medium as it is inimical to national security.
The publication apart from being false in its entirety, it is unethical and capable of endangering the lives of Nigerians in diaspora.
The medium is please requested to always clarify such matters affecting national security and diplomatic issues that may endanger the safety and security of Nigerians abroad to avoid such misleading and embarrassing publication.
