The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a man in Oyigbo, Rivers State, over a series of posts on the social media platform X in which he urged the military to remove the government.
The suspect, identified as Innocent Chukwuma and known on X as @TheAgroman, was taken into custody after posting messages calling for a coup. In one of the posts Chukwuma wrote: “A coup in Nigeria is needed. Dispose of APC, suspend the Nigerian Government, and join the AES. That is all we need now.”
He also posted, “It will happen eventually. Nigerians, the military needs your support now! Only them can save this country,” and accused the presidency of being under foreign influence: “The bastard in Aso Rock has basically sold this country to the West, and they run our intelligence apparatus. Only the military can reset this country. Support them.”
A source familiar with the case told reporters that Chukwuma is cooperating with DSS investigators. The agency has not yet released a public statement detailing the charges or the next steps in the probe.
