The Defence Headquarters has refuted claims that the French military is planning to establish a base in Nigeria.

A human rights activist, Mahdi Shehu had alleged the arrival of the first contingent of French soldiers in Borno state towards establishing a French military base in North-East Nigeria.

Reacting in a statement today, the Director of Defence Media Operations, Edward Buba, dismissed the claim as fake and mischievous.

He urged the general public to disregard such claims and speculations that are still circulating in some quarters, while describing it as the antics of mischief makers.

Buba assured the commitment of the military to continue to carry out its constitutional responsibilities most professionally and ensure the territorial integrity of the country.
