The Nigerian Defence Headquarters, DHQ, has disclosed that ailing Chief of Defence Staff, Taoreed Lagbaja spoke with the Chief of Defence Staff, Christopher Musa.
This was disclosed in a statement signed by the spokesman of the Defence Headquarters, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau.
There have been reports that Lagbaja died at an undisclosed hospital abroad about 48 hours ago.
But the Nigerian Army denied reports that Lagbaja was dead, describing such reports as fake news.
However, Gusau said: “The CDS had only spoken with the COAS a few minutes ago.
“The military remains focused on achieving its statutory responsibilities of protecting the nation’s integrity.
“The relative peace being enjoyed today is a direct result of the President’s support for the military and the dedication of the AFN leadership.
“To this end, the AFN and relevant security agencies have been mandated to take necessary action against any individual or group advocating for unconstitutional changes in the country.”

The House of Representatives Committee on Health Institutions has expressed concerns over alleged delay in recruitments to fill gaps that resulted from mass exodus of health professionals.
Doctors, nurses and other health professionals frequently leave the country for better opportunities abroad, a trend that has come to be termed Japa.
The House Committee, led on a visit by its chairman, Amos Magaji, to the Modibbo Adama University Teaching Hospital, MAUTH, in Yola, Adamawa State, said the relevant authorities had not been addressing the syndrome appropriately.
The committee chairman who said the committee was at MAUTH to inspect capital projects, facility capacity, manpower, and programs, said recruitments in facilities around the country had not been keeping pace with service withdrawals.
“We face the challenge of Japa; many doctors and nurses are leaving, and there’s delay in approval for recruitment to close the gaps,” he said.
Magaji said the gaps were widespread, just as he acknowledged MAUTH’s own dissatisfaction with inadequate staffing.
He said however that his committee was satisfied with how the hospital fares in regard to meeting clinical standards in a hygienic environment.
The MAUTH Chief Medical Director Prof. Adamu Bakari Girei, told the committee that the hospital had grown from 100 to a 720-bed capacity, but requested further interventions in waterworks, road network, and other facility upgrades.
During the oversight visit, the House Committee on Health Institutions toured MAUTH’s Residents Doctors Quarters, Psychiatric Block, College of Nursing and Midwifery, ENT and Ophthalmology Complex, female and male surgical wards and theatres.
