Defense Minister Orders DIA To Go After Coup Mongers
The Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) has been instructed by Bello Matawalle, the Minister of State for Defense, to pursue individuals advocating for a military coup.
This directive was issued by the Minister in a statement on Thursday that was signed by Henshaw Ogubike, the Defence Ministry's Director of Information, Press, and Public Relations.
Matawalle warned that anyone caught advocating for an undemocratic change in government would not be taken lightly and referred to them as agents of darkness.
“The call for violent change of government by the military is absurd, preposterous and naive as the military has come to reality with a democratic government in Nigeria and is focused on their constitutional duty of defending the constitution.
“The propagators calling for the truncation of the constitutional government should desist from it and face the democratic reality on the ground.
“Just because criminal elements attacked a warehouse and a haulage vehicle carrying food items to other parts of the country is not enough reason for unpatriotic individuals to resort to calling for military intervention which has no place in modern realities.
“The military is highly professionalised with a good civilian-military relationship, and they are exhibiting the highest standard of professionalism with the defence of our constitution as the top priority.”
The Minister urged every Nigerian to continue to believe in and support President Bola Tinubu's administration in its endeavors to elevate Nigeria.
