Coup Plot: Military Arrests Top Agency Boss, Probes Funds Allegedly Used To Finance Attempted Overthrow
By: Fabian Apechihin
In a dramatic escalation of the ongoing probe into an alleged coup plot, the military has arrested a Managing Director of a Federal Government agency in the South-South region over suspected financial links to the conspiracy against President Bola Tinubu.

According to The PUNCH, two intelligence sources confirmed that the detained MD is being interrogated for allegedly transferring a large sum of money to former Minister of State for Petroleum Resources, Timipre Sylva, who has been named among suspected financiers of the failed coup attempt.
“The MD (name withheld) transferred a substantial amount to Sylva. Investigators are working on the theory that the funds were intended to support the coup. He’s currently being questioned about the purpose of the transfer,” one of the sources disclosed.
Investigators also raided Sylva’s Abuja residence on Saturday, arresting his younger brother, Paga — who serves as his Special Assistant on Domestic Affairs — along with his driver. The former Bayelsa State governor and All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain was reportedly outside the country at the time of the operation.
A source close to the development said Sylva was preparing to return to Nigeria but changed his plans upon learning that the alleged coup plotters had been arrested.
“Sylva’s home was searched on Saturday, but he wasn’t in. His SA Domestic, Paga, and his driver were taken in. Investigators believe he played a key role in funding the plot,” the source added.
Efforts to reach the Director of Defence Media Operations, Maj-Gen Markus Kangye, and the Director of Defence Information, Brig-Gen Tukur Gusau, were unsuccessful as calls to their phones went unanswered on Tuesday.
Earlier, on October 4, Brig-Gen Gusau had announced the detention of 16 military officers over what was described as “acts of indiscipline and breaches of service regulations.”
“The Armed Forces of Nigeria wishes to inform the public that a routine military exercise has resulted in the arrest of sixteen officers over issues of indiscipline and breach of service regulations,” he stated.
He further explained that preliminary investigations showed the officers’ grievances stemmed from “perceived career stagnation” due to repeated failures in promotion examinations.
However, reports from SaharaReporters allege that the detained officers — ranging from the rank of Captain to Brigadier General — are being held by the Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) for allegedly plotting to overthrow the Tinubu administration.
The arrests were reportedly carried out simultaneously across several locations in the country as security forces tightened their probe into what is being described as one of the most serious threats to Nigeria’s democratic stability in recent years.
