Army Officers Linked to NSA Ribadu’s Office Detained Over Alleged Coup Plot Against Tinubu

Abuja, Nigeria — Several Nigerian Army officers accused of plotting a coup to overthrow President Bola Tinubu are reportedly connected to the Office of the National Security Adviser (ONSA), headed by Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

According to an exclusive report by Daily trust, the detained officers include personnel affiliated with the ONSA — a sensitive office that draws its staff from the military, intelligence, law enforcement, and paramilitary agencies.

Sources revealed that the arrests were carried out after intelligence operations by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) uncovered meetings and plans to topple the current administration during the October 1 Independence Day celebrations.

While the Nigerian military publicly stated that the detained officers were being investigated for “repeated failures in promotion exams and career stagnation,” top defence insiders insist the real issue was their involvement in a coup plot.

A senior DIA official disclosed, “The sixteen officers were conspiring to execute a coup. The official explanation was diplomatic. They had already begun holding secret meetings to overthrow the President and senior officials.”

The arrested officers, ranging in rank from Captain to Brigadier General, were reportedly picked up from their homes across various states and are currently being held at the DIA facility in Abuja.

One top intelligence source told SaharaReporters that most of the suspects are from Northern Nigeria and have links to the NSA’s office.

Among the key suspects is Lieutenant Colonel Al-Makura, said to be a nephew of former Nasarawa State Governor and current UBEC Board Chairman, Tanko Umaru Al-Makura.

“The mastermind of the coup is Lieutenant Colonel Al-Makura,” the source stated. “There are two brothers in the Army with the same rank and surname. One commands the 343 Artillery Regiment in Elele and was briefly detained but later released after investigations cleared him. The other, recently posted to the NSA’s office after completing a course in China, is the principal suspect.”

Investigations revealed that most of the detained officers are young and were allegedly influenced by senior figures within the group. None of them currently have access to their families, according to security sources.

The foiled plot is believed to be the reason the Independence Day parade, scheduled for October 1st to mark Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary, was abruptly cancelled.

As of press time, neither the Nigerian Army nor the Office of the National Security Adviser has issued an official statement addressing these new revelations.




@Ditari of Ijaw.

Hmmm there is fire on the mountain. Well are surely know that the plot would be from the north.

No man can kill Tinubu, baba will rule us, till 2031

The said one of the mastermind officer just completed a course in China, I wouldn't be surprised if he have China backing.

Any coup from Northerners in this country will send this country into Civil war this is no longer 1990, opportunity for Oduduwa and Biafra Republic to break away from Nigeria and leave the North to their banditry and terrorism.


So northern soldiers think they can carry out a coup and rule because southern soldiers in the army are mumu?

Coup is very difficult in Nigeria because of the different ethnic groups we have in this country even if you succeed with the coup you won't be able to govern long unless northerners have plan to wipe out every southern soldiers in the army and vice versa too which is impossible.

he will rule over you till you are 90 years

That’s a very serious and worrying development if true. Allegations of a coup plot, especially involving officers linked to such a high-level office, raise major concerns about stability, loyalty, and internal security. It’s not unusual for sensitive information like this to be handled quietly, but the connection to the NSA’s office makes it even more complicated. Hopefully, the authorities conduct a transparent investigation and release verified information soon, because rumors around military involvement can easily heighten public tension.

Fulani can never learn. They live in medieval age. Imagine some people will wake up in today's volatile Nigeria and stage coup against the Government of a man from other ethnic group, other than yours. Moomu people

muyico:

No man can kill = Your assumption and not fact

Tinubu = Apc messiah

Us = You and your family

Imagine they were officers from eastern extraction

Thrash, Thrash and Thrash as usual.

No names no Region.

Tomorrow, they will tell you all the Coup plotters fled Nigeria overnight simultaneously.

They might even claim the plotters were among previously retired army personnel just to demonstrate damage control.

Nothing logical.

I think the military said it was just false rumours?

If this happened nigeria will break and everyone will go there own ways.

By southern soldiers in this case, you mean some Yoruba soldiers abi. Is it Igbo soldiers or south south soldiers that will bat an eyelid that a character like Tinubu was removed from office?

Coup propaganda is a diversionary tactics deployed to prevent the impending sanctions on nija ...

FoX News reports that a group of Nigerian legislators are on their way to pressure certain diplomats drop the idea of US designation of Nigeria.

Very evil souls in government. They care less about the thousands killed by Bandits and hunger.

Always scheming with diversionary tactics to hold unto power even if it as the expense of the last soul in Nigeria.

southerners in the army? What is the business of the SS and SE with Tinubu presidency?

PBAT wey get spy in all MDA's including the force. So if this claim of Coup is true, JAGABAN will always get first hand information and be a step ahead.

Meanwhile, nothing is impossible in this life.

INDEED, PEOPLE NO DEY LIKE BETTER THING.

On those that understands how PMB's administration messed this Country can understands the reform PBAT have done so far.

When there is good governance and good economic policies
People will not think of coup
These coup plotters were compelled by bad economic policies such as fuel subsidy removal and tax reform laws Tinubu government forced upon Nigerians bad policies without palliatives making us to be slaves in our land.

This was exact thing that made USA to fight for freedom from Britain 17th century and got it

But our coupists will do worse things than the govt their toppled, ike gwuru ndị Africa

They are always looking for a "baba to rule them" mercilessly ..
Willing serfs, all of them..

If any Northern Soldier successfuly carry out a coup against Tinubu, we Nigerians will celebrate them. We will refer to them as our HEROES.

Mustack:

Na lie

If the coup plotters succeed, Nigeria will move on. We will even celebrate them sef

Hmmm, those in government now should have the fear of God,

All the ethnic bragging, TRIBALISM and insults should stop, Nigeria is a complex society and anything can happen.

Tomorrow they will find a way to pin and say its an igbo coup. Please make una print the names for everyone to see and for records . If igbo officers were involved, the propagandist will so blow and print their names in capital letter for everyone to see. Now they won't talk
