Defence Ministry Denies Video On Its Minister, Magashi Hanging An AK-47 Rifle

The online video of a man hanging an AK-47 rifle allegedly belonging to him, according to the Minister of Defense, retired Maj.-Gen. Bashir Magashi, is “mischievous.”

In a statement released on Sunday, Muhammad Abdulkadri, the minister’s Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, stated that the narrative must be countered.

According to Abdulkadri, the genuine identity of the man in the video has been revealed.

He said: “To claim that the person in the video is General Magashi is false and misinforming.

“Findings have revealed the undeniable identity of the person in the video as the rector of a Nigerian Army college.

“By virtue of the rector’s command and position, he is statutorily allowed in the military to sign for weapons when travelling.”

The Army green color on the vehicle featured in the video, as well as the unit sticker on the official automobile, are adequate evidence, according to Abdulkadri, to refute the video’s false claim.

He further stated that the car referred to as the official car in the video is not the minister’s official vehicle.
