C.G. Musa May Replace Badaru as Defence Minister
Real Reasons Defence Minister Resigned
39 Foreign Nationals on Suspicious Mission Arrested in Nasarawa
By: Special Correspondent
The last may not have been heard about the recent meeting between General Christopher Musa, former Chief of Defence Staff, and President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
Feelers indicate that the meeting may not be unconnected with the President’s new initiatives toward addressing the security challenges in the country. Already, there are speculations about a possible appointment of Musa as Nigeria’s next Minister of Defence.
This comes amid permutations that the former CDS is being positioned to take over, following his commendable performance, which has been widely applauded by Nigerians.
The sudden resignation of Badaru Abubakar as Minister of Defence, just a week after President Tinubu met with Musa at the Presidential Villa, further strengthens the speculation that both the Minister and the Minister of State may be on their way out.
Investigations reveal that, beyond the official reasons given for Badaru Abubakar’s sudden resignation, the stage appears set for the removal of certain individuals. National Trail reports that the development may be connected with the fallout of the lingering insecurity across the country, which led to Badaru being prevailed upon to resign.
Presidency sources told this medium that, following widespread criticism of the government’s handling of security issues, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is working toward a radical shift in the current approach.
One of such moves, we learnt, is a total overhaul of the internal defence mechanisms, which may lead to the exit of the two Defence Ministers and other top officials within the defence structure.
Already, those perceived to have mismanaged the situation are being pencilled down for removal, starting with the senior Defence Minister.
In another development, the Police in Nasarawa State have taken into custody 32 males and 7 females — all from Mali except one female from Ivory Coast — during an operation in the Orange Market area of Mararaba, Karu Local Government Area.
National Trail gathered that, amid rising suspicions that foreigners are being recruited into groups working against Nigeria’s security, the police arrested the aliens for profiling and investigation into their possible mission in the country.
According to reports, one Habi Baraji, a Malian national who speaks only French and Arabic, raised an alarm about the presence of the group.
Police sources told our reporter that Baraji was among those lured from Mali into Nigeria about a week ago by another Malian, Abdullahi Berter.
Initial investigations revealed that the aliens, none of whom could speak English, were promised jobs — the nature of which was not immediately disclosed.
According to our source, they were told they would be taken to France for the jobs but ended up in a strange building instead.
The police are currently on the trail of Abdullahi Berter, who allegedly masterminded the plot.
Further investigations show that, while the true reasons for their presence remain unclear, the police stormed the Orange Market to uncover their real mission.
Upon arrival at the Orange Market in Mararaba, according to one of the suspects, they realised they had been deceived into an unknown and suspicious mission.
They told the police that Berter allegedly began pressuring them to lure more people from Mali into Nigeria for an undisclosed purpose.
Baraji further told security personnel that he suspected Berter was holding “many other victims” captive in a house in the area. A raid was subsequently conducted, leading to more arrests.
Our correspondent reports that, based on further intelligence, a team of detectives swiftly mobilised to the location, where they discovered 39 foreigners confined inside a bungalow, all unable to speak any Nigerian language. The victims were immediately evacuated into protective custody pending further profiling and communication with Malian and Ivorian consular authorities.
