Those calling for coup may have the Federal Government to contend with, as the Minister of State for Defence, Bello Matawalle has directed the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA), to go after them.
The minister also described those calling for truncation of constitutional government in the country as criminals and enemies of democracy who should be brought to justice.
Matawalle, whose directive was contained in a statement signed by the Director of Press and Information in the ministry, Henshaw Ogubike, said: “Some mischief makers posted viral videos and inciting statement on the media depicting a false situation and impression and encouraging the military to truncate the constitution, which will never happen because Nigerians have aligned with a democratic culture, which makes coup no longer fashionable.
