Lt-Gen. Tukur Buratai, the chief of army staff, has revealed that some officers and members of the political class are behind the recent rumours of plans to overthrow the government of Muhammadu Buhari.
Buratai, who didn’t give concrete names, cautioned against any army misadventure, saying probes were ongoing to unmask those behind the speculation.
He said: “We are much better under democracy. Military misadventure in democracy should not repeat itself.
“We see it as an attempt to show some misgivings by some officers and the political class, but they will fail.”
Buratai also restated the fact that the military will remain apolitical and professional.
