The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested a man identified as Innocent Chukwuma for allegedly using his social media platform to advocate for a military takeover in Nigeria.
The development was disclosed by security analyst Zagazola Makama in a post on his official X handle on Wednesday.
According to Makama, DSS operatives traced the suspect to Oyigbo, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, where he was apprehended following intelligence reports.
Chukwuma, who reportedly operates the X account @TheAgroman, had posted messages calling for the military to assume power and suspend the current democratic government.
A security source quoted by Makama said the suspect is currently in DSS custody and cooperating with investigators.
