The Acting Army Chief was appointed by President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday, pending the return of the indisposed substantive Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, who is currently on medical leave.

The DHQ, in a statement by the Director of Defence Information, Brig. Gen. Tukur Gusau, on October 21, said no such appointment exists within the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

The rebuttal came after several reports cited a social media post by one Jackson Ude claiming that Lt. Gen. Lagbaja had died of cancer.
