Politics Nigeria Army Secretly Quiz Officers Involved in Plot to Overthrow Buhari- Punch

[LequteMan]

The Nigerian army has constituted a panel which is quizzing military officers suspected to be conniving with politicians to stage a coup and overthrow the Muhammadu Buhari government, Punch reports.

The panel has been quizzing officers for a week, it's reported.

The Director, Defence Information, Maj. Gen. John Enenche, spoke about this during a briefing on Wednesday.

“We have set up an administrative machinery, as it were for this matter. It is not good for us at this stage to tell you something that may not be true. Let us allow time for the administrative procedures. Be patient," he said when quizzed by newsmen.

He also said the Nigerian armed forces remain loyal to the Buhari government.

It's still the Muhammadu Buhari government as things stand. Osinbajo is in acting capacity.

Agreed. I was just making the point that all of this is about stopping Osibanjo becoming president in the event of Buhari''s resignation. It will not be on the table otherwise

Could it be that imported arms catche recently uncovered by the Nig Customs is not a coincidence.
