Nigeria: SSS Arrests Man Over Social Media Post Calling for Coup

  • Recently, the Department of State Services arrested Innocent Chukwuma for allegedly canvassing military rule after trailing him to Oyigbo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria.
  • During the 10-day #EndBadGovernance protests some participants called for military intervention, with some protesters waving Russian flags and about 22 people killed.
  • Using his X handle, he urged Nigerians to back a military suspension of the government, posting from @TheAgroman that a coup was needed and to 'dispose of APC' and support AES, DSS said.
  • PREMIUM TIMES reported the arrest came amid an alleged coup plot involving senior military officers, with about 20 senior military officers arrested and civilian collaborators reported by other newspapers.
  • PREMIUM TIMES could not officially confirm the arrest because the secret police recently stopped engaging with media, and a check found X suspended Mr Chukwuma's account Wednesday morning.
