General Musa shared how he and his colleagues were denied visas at the Canadian Embassy according to a media report in Wednesday February 13, 2025.
“Every disappointment is a blessing, yesterday (Wednesday), I was meant to be in Canada for an event to honour our veterans—those injured in battle. We were invited along with our team, but while half of us got visas, the other half was denied. It’s very disappointing,” Musa said.
This development has led to rising tensions in certain quarters as many still could not understand real reason for the diplomatic issues arising between the two countries.
