The Defence Headquarters (DHQ) has warned against calls for a military coup in Nigeria, stating that it is a treasonable offence.
The warning followed a viral video clip circulating on
social media, urging the Nigerian military to take over power from the
President Bola Tinubu administration.
Reacting, the military, in a statement on Monday by its
Director of Defence Information, Brigadier General Tukur Gusau, said the
military is “steadfastly committed to the preservation and advancement of our
democracy and is loyal to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration.”
The statement added that the military remains focused on
fulfilling its statutory responsibilities of protecting the nation’s integrity.
The DHQ further mandated relevant security agencies in the
country to take necessary action against any individual or group “advocating
for unconstitutional changes in the country.”
