突发:联邦政府对政变策划者提起13项指控!

In a significant move that has raised eyebrows across the nation, the federal government has brought forth a staggering 13-count charge against six individuals, including two retired senior military officers and a currently serving police inspector. The charges are linked to an alleged conspiracy to incite war against Nigeria and engage in acts of terrorism that threaten the safety and stability of the nation. The defendants in this highly publicized case include retired Major General Mohammed Gana, retired Naval Captain Erasmus Victor, and Inspector Ahmed Ibrahim, alongside three other individuals: Zekeri Umoru, Bukar Goni, and Abdulkadir Sani.

他们定于4月22日(星期三)在阿布贾的Joyce Abdulmalik法官面前出庭,全国上下正密切关注这场法律剧情的展开。更增添一层悬念的是,指控中还点名了前石油资源国务部长Timipre Sylva,据报道他正在逃避逮捕,目前仍逍遥法外。

The charges were meticulously filed on Monday by the Office of the Attorney-General of the Federation, signed by the Director of Public Prosecutions, Rotimi Oyedepo (SAN), and include severe allegations ranging from treason to terrorism, alongside serious accusations of failing to disclose crucial security intelligence and money laundering related to the funding of terrorism. This elaborate indictment asserts that the defendants conspired as early as 2025 with the explicit objective of waging war against the state to unseat the president of the Federal Republic of 尼日利亚. Such treasonous actions fall under the severe penalties outlined in Section 37(2) of the Criminal Code, which underscores the government’s intent to address threats to national security with the utmost seriousness. In a gripping twist, the prosecution claims that the defendants were aware of a treasonous plot involving one Colonel Mohammed Alhassan Ma’aji and others but failed to inform the authorities in a timely manner.

根据指控,他们“没有报告本可让政府采取预防行动的关键情报”,实际上危害了国家安全。此外,这些人还面临根据2022年《恐怖主义(预防和禁止)法》提出的严重恐怖主义相关指控,涉嫌密谋在尼日利亚境内实施恐怖行为。

督察Ahmed Ibrahim和Zekeri Umoru的参与被特别强调,指控他们参加了围绕这一所谓阴谋的战略会议,官员们认为该阴谋威胁到尼日利亚宪法完整性的稳定。政府不仅关注叛国行为;指控还延伸至金融领域。

据报道,多名被告卷入了与资助恐怖主义相关的洗钱活动。值得注意的是,Bukar Kashim Goni被指控保留了高达5000万奈拉的巨额资金,其中部分据称与恐怖主义融资有关,而Abdulkadir Sani据称从类似来源保留了200万奈拉。Zekeri Umoru据称接受了一笔1000万奈拉的现金付款而未通过金融机构,这引发了更多警报。此外,督察Ahmed Ibrahim被指控持有与恐怖主义融资收益相关的100万奈拉。此案的金融层面揭示了一个令人深感担忧的腐败和背叛网络,威胁着国家安全的根基。

As proceedings kick off in Abuja, this case will undoubtedly test the federal government’s commitment to tackling perceived threats to national security head-on.

Flashing back to events from October 2025, the hasty cancellation of a ceremonial parade intended to commemorate Nigeria’s 65th Independence Anniversary sent shockwaves through the public, fueling rampant speculation around potential coup attempts. While the defense headquarters promptly dismissed such rumors, asserting that the parade cancellation was unrelated to any coup plot, it did little to quell the tension.

In the days following the announcement, reports confirmed the arrest of 16 military officers, with several others identified as fugitives.

The gravity of the situation escalated in January 2026 when the defense headquarters admitted that there was indeed a plotted attempt to dethrone President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, revealing the extensive investigations that implicated military personnel in this alarming conspiracy.

As family members of the detained officers sought justice, they openly cried out for transparency, pushing for a public trial for their loved ones, whom they believe have been wrongfully accused. Protests erupted in April, demanding not only a swift judicial process but also improved access to their relatives, all under the backdrop of a legal battle that stands to redefine how Nigeria responds to internal security threats.

Stay tuned as this story develops and as we closely follow the proceedings that could shape the future of Nigeria’s national security landscape!
