Nigerian Army Refutes Coup Rumour by nlfpmod: 9:05am On Feb 26
DHQ REFUTES ALLEGATION OF GUARDS BRIGADE PLACED ON HIGH ALERT OVER SUSPICION OF COUP PLOT IN NIGERIA

The attention of the Defence Headquarters
@DefenceInfoNG has been drawn to a malicious and unfounded article published online by SaharaReporters on 25 February 2024 claiming that the Guards Brigade has been put on high alert following unusual movements, leading to suspicion of a coup plot in Nigeria. The publication also asserted amongst other things that the suspicion prompted emergency meeting involving President Bola Tinubu, the Chief of Staff to the President and Commander of the Guards Brigade.

The Defence Headquarters wishes to categorically state that the allegation is totally false. For the avoidance of doubt, the Guards Brigade has been statutorily assigned the responsibility of protecting the seat of power (The Presidency) and by extension the Federal Capital Territory and its environs. Hence, it is to be noted that the Guards Brigade has always been on high alert in order to effectively executive its assigned tasks.

It will be recalled that the Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa OFR had in various fora reiterated the unalloyed commitment of members of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to the protection and sustenance of democracy in Nigeria. Therefore, the Defence Headquarters strongly condemn this unsubstantiated assertion which is just a figment of imagination of the publisher and enjoins members of the public to disregard it.

Furthermore, the Defence Headquarters calls on relavant security agencies to immediately take appropriate action against the Sahara Reporters for this unpatriotic action. Meanwhile, the Defence Headquarters will seek legal redress on the issue which has the ulterior motive of creating unnecessary tension in the country.

Murtala Mohammed said "If you wants to prevent a coup, then remove whatever can cause or lead to it." The truth it is only the evil person that is always afraid of the unknown. Clear conscience fears no accusation. There is no smoke with out a fire.

Anybody that understands how coups works would know that the Defence ministry don't need to know about a planned coup for it to happen.

It can be a lower ranking officers.

The Army are also part of the system, the solution to our problems is finding answers to Devaluation of Naira as instructed by IMF, National Security & Fuel Subsidy return.
Any one that can find us these answers, can make Nigeria greater than China.
