Nigeria former Minister of Defence, Lieutenant General, Theophilus Danjuma, is alive.
A family source dismissed rumours of his death, saying it is the figment of the imagination of the peddlers.
General Danjuma has been a major player in post-independence military and political events in Nigeria.
He was Chief of Army Staff from July 1975 to October 1979. He was also Minister of Defence under President Olusegun Obasanjo’s first term (1999-2003).
Reacting to the rumours on Monday, a close family source stated that General Danjuma is doing well and is presently in Spain enjoying an holiday trip with his wife Daisy.
According to him, “it’s has become urgent and important for us to respond to the rumour flying round that the Retired General who hails from Takum LGA of Taraba State is no more. This remains a rumour as it is not true. These are just group of persons who are bent of peddling fake news and using same to gain possible traffic on their sites,”
