The Chief of Defence Staff, Air Chief
Marshal Alex Badeh, has refuted rumors of a possible coup d' etat by
the military, stating that the rumour was unfounded.
ACM Badeh stated this on Tuesday June 18th while receiving
the Director General of the National Orientation Agency , Dr Mike Omeiri
in his office. He said the Military would always work to protect the
democracy of Nigeria and not destroy it.
"Rumours in some quarters of a possible coup d’état in
the country are unfounded. Why should anyone be thinking in the negative
fashion? Tell them we will not do it. Those spreading rumours of coups
must be living elsewhere and not in Nigeria. The Armed Forces are
defenders of democracy. We are an arm of democracy, so how can an arm of
democracy work against the democracy that we are part of?” he said
