The Nigerian Army has dismissed rumors circulating on social media that the Chief of Army Staff, Lt. Gen. Taoreed Lagbaja, has passed away. The false reports, originating from a journalist’s social media post, claimed that Lagbaja died of cancer in an undisclosed hospital abroad.
In response, the Army refuted the claims, labeling them as fake news. However, sources confirmed that the Army Chief is critically ill and receiving medical treatment overseas. The Army urged the public to pray for his recovery instead of spreading false information.
