“The DHQ hereby call on patriotic citizens of our nation to disregard the twitter account and ignore the tweets, while the effort is underway to track the perpetrator of this heinous act."

“The official twitter handle of the Defence Headquarters is @DefenceInfoNG which is a verified account."

“People are advised to be conscious of increase in the number of fraudsters who will go at any length to misrepresent the military and its institutions, sometimes using such channel to swindle innocent members of the public."

“Please be guided,’’ the DDI said.
