Defence Minister Bello Matawalle has ordered the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) to actively pursue individuals plotting for a military takeover of power in the country.

Matawalle made the order on Thursday in a statement signed by Henshaw Ogubike, Director of Information, Press, and Public Relations at the Defence Ministry.

The Minister labeled those calling for an undemocratic change of government as “agents of darkness.”

He cautioned that anyone apprehended would face severe consequences.

The Minister urged all Nigerians to stand by President Bola Tinubu’s administration in their collective efforts to elevate Nigeria.

Furthermore, Matawalle reaffirmed the unwavering commitment of the Armed Forces of Nigeria to safeguarding the Constitution, upholding democracy, and ensuring the nation’s safety and security.

He said:
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.”
