The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a man identified as Innocent Chukwuma in Oyigbo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, for allegedly using his social media handle to call for a military takeover of the Nigerian government.
Chukwuma, who operates an account on X (formerly Twitter) with the handle @TheAgroman, reportedly made several posts urging the Nigerian military to overthrow the current administration. In one of his posts, he claimed that a coup was necessary to “reset” the country, accusing the government of failing the people and calling on citizens to support the armed forces in carrying out such an action.
Security sources said the suspect’s online activities were closely monitored before his arrest. Following the intelligence trail, DSS operatives apprehended Chukwuma at his residence in Oyigbo.
Investigations are ongoing, and preliminary findings indicate that the suspect has been cooperating with security agents. The DSS is expected to issue an official statement on the incident as part of efforts to curb incitement and safeguard national security.
