DSS Files Charges Against Rivers Resident Who Called For Military Coup In Social Media Posts
The Department of State Services (DSS) has filed charges against Innocent Chukwuemeka Onukwume, a resident of Umusayo Layout, Oyigbo Local Government, Rivers State for allegedly calling for a military coup in the country.
He was alleged to have done this via his social media posts.
Team@orientactualmags.com learned that the charges filed at the Federal High Court, Abuja with docket number FHC/ABJ/CR/610/2025, had to do with the contents of Onukwume’s X.com posts via (@theagroman) in October 2025.
According to the DSS, the posts encouraged the removal of the ruling All Progressives Congress, the suspension of the federal government and support for the military in taking over the country.
Counsel for the DSS, A.M. Danalami noted that Onukwume’s actions contravened Sections 46A(1) and 59(1) of the Criminal Code Act, as well as Section 24(1)(b) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2024 (as amended).
Some of the contents of the social media posts made by the 27-year-old man include: ‘A coup in Nigeria is needed. Dispose of APC, suspend the Nigerian government and join the AES. That is all we need now’.
‘It will happen eventually, Nigerian. The military needs your support now! Only they can save this country. The bastard in Aso Rock has basically sold this country to the West and they run our intelligence apparatus only the military can reset this country’ he also submitted.
In another post, he said ‘Tinubu has to go and APC has to die for Nigeria to have any semblance of normal life. And if you think your stupid votes can remove Tinubu, I’m here to tell you that you’re a fool’ he wrote.
He also once again, added that ‘A coup in Nigeria is needed. Dispose of APC, suspend the Nigerian Government and join the AES. That is all we need now’.Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us? Do you want us to cover your event or programme?
