Retired Nigerian Army Lieutenant General, Theophilus Danjuma, is alive the family has said.
Vanguard reports that Danjuma played a key role in post independence military and politcal 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 administration.
Danjuma is also a businessman and philanthropist, deploying largely his TY Danjuma Foundation in pursuit of charitable works.
Reacting to Danjuma’s death rumours on Monday, a close family source said that the General was doing well and presently in Spain enjoying an holiday trip with his wife, Daisy.
“It has become urgent and important for us to respond to the rumour flying round that the Retd General who hails from Takum LGA of Taraba state is no more; this remains a rumour as it is not true. These are just groups of persons who are bent on peddling fake news and using the same to gain possible traffic to their sites,” the source told Vanguard newspaper.
