DSS arrests man for allegedly canvassing military coup on social media
The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a man identified as Innocent Chukwuma for allegedly using his social media account to call for a military takeover in Nigeria.
Security analyst Zagazola Makama said on Wednesday on his official X account that Chukwuma was traced to Oyigbo, Port Harcourt in Rivers State and taken into custody by the DSS.
Makama posted a screenshot of the suspect’s X handle, “@TheAgroman,” and quoted the message that allegedly prompted the arrest. The post urged support for a coup and read in part: “A coup in Nigeria is needed. Dispose of APC, suspend the Nigerian Government, and join the AES… Nigerians, the military needs your support now! Only them can save this country.”
A source close to the investigation told Makama that Chukwuma is currently cooperating with DSS investigators. The DSS has not yet issued a public statement confirming the arrest.
