The Department of State Services (DSS) has apprehended a man identified as Innocent Chukwuma in Oyigbo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for allegedly using social media to incite the military to overthrow the Nigerian government.
According to security sources, Chukwuma, who operated the X (formerly Twitter) account @TheAgroman, had posted several messages calling for a coup and urging the military to take control of the country.
In one of his posts, he 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 further claimed that only the military could “save” Nigeria, alleging that the government had “sold the country to the West” and compromised national intelligence.
His post read in part:
“It will happen eventually. Nigerians, the military needs your support now! Only them can save this country. The man in Aso Rock has basically sold this nation to the West. Only the military can reset Nigeria. Support them.”
Following these online statements, DSS operatives reportedly tracked Chukwuma’s location to Oyigbo, where he was taken into custody.
An intelligence source confirmed that the suspect is currently cooperating with investigators.
