The Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, has said those calling for coup d’etat are enemies of Nigeria, saying the law will catch up with them.
The military had earlier revealed that there were pressure from certain unnamed quarters for a takeover of government following the lingering insecurity in the country.
But Musa said the Armed Forces is on top of its game and will continue to do the needful in protecting democracy in the country.
He said this while fielding questions from newsmen shortly after he inaugurated the main entrance of the 6 Division, Nigerian Army and Officers Transit Accommodation, both at the Division Headquarters in Port Harcourt on Wednesday.
While admitting that the country was experiencing some challenges, he said coup calls are not the way to go because the nation achieves more and develops faster under a democracy.
The CDS said, “Whoever is making that call (coup) does not love Nigeria. We want to make it very clear that the Armed Forces of Nigeria are here to protect democracy.
