The military leadership has submitted to President Bola Tinubu a report of its investigation into what it tagged “indiscipline and breach of service regulations” by the 16 detained officers, who were allegedly involved in a coup plot.
According to Presidential sources, in an interview with Daily Trust, the report was submitted to the president after over two months of thorough grilling and investigations by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA).
The source said that a presidential decision on the report “will allow further actions.”
Those who were tasked to investigate the involvement of the officers have concluded their job, and they have submitted the report to the president, who is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,” the source revealed.
Asked to give an insight into the content of the report, the source said: “All I can tell you is that the officers were indicted, and they will be sanctioned accordingly when the president gives his nod.
The Brigadier-General among them was picked because it was discovered that he was aware of the plot but did not report it,” the source said.
Although the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has denied there was a coup and even reaffirmed its loyalty to Tinubu’s administration. But the news of the detained officers and the sacking of the service chiefs, days after the report of the coup went viral continue to fuel speculations.
With the alleged coup report submitted, do you think President Tinubu should do a televised broadcast to brief Nigerians?
