The Defence Headquarters has denied a front page story carried by Daily Trust yesterday titled “operational blunders, poor supplies causing military losses.”
A statement yesterday by the Director (Information) Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Chris Olukolade, refuted the report claiming it followed the pattern of reports by some online media.
“There is nothing professional, in-depth or objective in fabricating stories and attributing them to the usually unidentifiable but ubiquitous so called, ‘defence sources’, all in attempt to make more sales or create wrong impression about the military system,” the statement said.
Olukolade stressed that the information contained in the report did not emanate from any credible or authentic source within the Defence Headquarters or military establishment as claimed by the writers of the story.
“Accordingly, the public is enjoined to discountenance this and similar reports attributed to these spurious and unknown defence sources as they do not represent the fact about the military system,” the statement said.
