The Defence Headquarters has said the military has no hand in a purported document in circulation calling for the overthrow of the Buhari-led administration.

It condemned  the said documents on Tuesday in a statement released by Navy Captain Muhammed Wabi, the Deputy Director of Defence Information.

Dissociating itself from the document, the Defence Headquarters said the document was sponsored by a group known as Nigerian Continuity and Progress (NCP).

According to the DHQ, the NCP is calling for support of a revolution to oust the current democratically elected government and in its place establish an illegitimate interim government.

The DHQ said it understood its constitutional role and would not be misled into any action that can undermine the nation’s democracy, the DHQ reaffirmed the loyalty of the military to the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Nigeria.

It also called on relevant government agencies to apprehend the sponsors of the document and bring them to book.
