Colonel Sagir notes that the publication is a negative misinterpretion of a proactive classified document for the Nigerian Army to prepare for possible escalation of the Coronavirus global pandemic.
The statement stressed that the information insinuating that the government is locking down the entire country on Friday is false and baseless.
