Two military officers are reportedly on the run after being identified as part of a plot to overthrow Nigeria’s democracy.
Following questioning 16 of the military officials who were detained during the first week of October in connection with the failed plot, the military authorities have continued making arrests.
According to TheCable, 18 officers were scheduled for arrest; however, two of them escaped and are currently believed to have fled the country.
Military sources told sources that JM Ganaks, a major from the federal capital territory with service number N/14363, is still at large.
He was a member of the regular close 58 of the Nigerian Defence Academy (NDA) and his station is listed as Jaji, Kaduna state. His service station is listed as DHQ SOF Bida, Niger state, and he was a member of the regular course 64.
G Binuga, a captain who hails from Taraba State, with service number N/167722, is also on the run.
He was a part of the regular course 64 and his post is identified as DHQ SOF Bida, Niger state.
MORE ARRESTS…
According to sources, some of the arrested suspects have made “useful statements” to the authorities.
The information retrieved has helped secure more arrests, with a source estimating that over 30 officers are now in custody.
Contrary to widespread information, the coup was not to be executed on October 1, as arrests were only made in the first week of the month.
Official confirmation of the coup plot has not yet come from military authorities.
