Everything else is not my concern except that the parade was cancelled because the president wanted to attend a bilateral relations event outside the country.

Nothing supercedes the independent event of a nation to her president ,every other things must wait cos that's the most significant event for a country .
Thank you!

Leave story , it actually happened .

For them to rush to the media to debunk it, means the coup attempt actually happened but they had to deny it to save face.
If so, then the outcome of the disciplinary committee set by the DHQ would disclose reasons why the arrested officers are being charged.

Any coup plotter and does involved will naturally be charged with high treason .

So its up to Sowore to tell us what the officers are being held and investigated for.

PRESS RELEASE

DHQ NEVER MENTIONED ANY COUP ATTEMPT 


1.  The attention of the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has been drawn to a false and misleading report by an online publication insinuating that the cancellation of activities marking Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary was linked to an alleged attempted military coup. The report also made spurious references to the recent DHQ press release announcing the arrest of sixteen officers currently under investigation for professional misconduct.

2.  The Armed Forces of Nigeria (AFN) wishes to categorically state that the claims by the said publication are entirely false, malicious, and intended to cause unnecessary tension and distrust among the populace. The decision regarding the cancellellation of 65th independence anniversary parade  was  to allow Mr President attend a strategic bilateral meeting outside the country and for members of the AFN to sustain the momentum on the fight against terrorism, insurgency and banditry.

3.  Furthermore, the DHQ wishes to reassure Nigerians that the ongoing investigation involving the sixteen officers is a routine internal process aimed at ensuring discipline and professionalism is maintained within the ranks. An investigative panel has been duly constituted, and its findings would be made public.

4.  The DHQ calls on all peace loving citizens to continue to provide necessary support to the security agents. The FG, the legislature and the judiciary are working closely for the safety, development and well being of the nation. Democracy is forever. 

5.  The DHQ urges members of the public to disregard the falsehood being circulated by the purveyors of misinformation and enemies of our nation. The Armed Forces of Nigeria remains firmly loyal to the Constitution and the Federal government under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

You see how much of deceit this government does to the people? What could be more important than an independent day of a country that makes the president travel? Just like a married couple telling the public that they went to do other things and forget to mark the anniversary of their wedding who does that? Na story una Dey fine jor

I think Sowore should be locked up for the security of the country. He's working with some bad elements to carjole the military to take over Power. Trump won't accept this in the US. No nation should tolerate this. Instigating the military to take over power is treason and not opposition. The NSA should arrest and question that idiot immediately.

This is not other rank. If you know NA very well, you'll know they don't play with their COs. Anything that will cause 16 senior COs to be arrested at once will definitely have something to do with coup or some other type of high-level mutiny. I no get time for argument.

Even though I don't believe this coup story one bit, I feel it's what we need to reset the ethnic, economic and social state of Nigeria.

APC under Tinubu has divided Nigeria to the point where people starving to death as a result of bad policies by APC would prefer to attack another tribe that has nothing to do with their predicament, than criticize the administration that put them in such conditions.

When I go online and see the kind of things some Nigerians post I do tell myself that we have no right to call whites racist cos we're worse than them. And if having a military administration would reset all that, I'm fully in support.
You see. Nigeria has never ever had a military administration, because, if Nigeria had ever had a military administration, one would just go read how things were under the military administrations Nigeria never had.

But my fault for not giving you reading matter.

Coup cannot work in Nigeria because any president coming in always choose people that are very loyal to him,mostly his kinsmen,and those people are;
1-The chief of Army Staff
2-Commander Guards Brigade
3-The ADC to the president
4-The Artillery Unit commander in charge of Air Defence Artillery in the villa
5-The commander in charge of Intelligence in the villa.
For you to achieve a perfect coup,you must follow through those 5 people,which is nearly impossible because they are very loyal to the core.

He wasn't outside the country that day, he was in Nigeria, Lagos, even attended an event, the recommissioning of the National Theatre, that was were he commented that he enjoyed his rest at home instead of the usual parade in Abuja.
I doubt he even left the country throughout the period, he went to Imo, Ábíá and Plateau from Lagos.
They have lied so much that they forgot some of the lies they told

Yea, they supposed to just keep quiet and let you children of hate and perdition with your evil thoughts and demonic thinking to run the country to the ground. The first sign of an evil person is that, they are okay with defamatory words about a person but they will be angry if the person speaks up. They want to be able to lie against you without you debunking their lies. That is why they will say you are debunking their lies because you’re guilty. Animal behavior!
