Recent reports suggest that the former Nigerian soldier who declared President Bola Tinubu wanted has been apprehended.
The soldier, who had earlier gained attention for his viral video exposing alleged poor welfare conditions for injured troops and later declared Tinubu wanted in a social media post, was reportedly arrested following a nationwide manhunt by military authorities.
The Nigerian Army had previously labeled him a deserter and accused him of violating military codes, including spreading “inflammatory” content online.
His arrest marks a significant development in a case that has sparked public debate over military accountability and freedom of expression.
The ex-soldier’s defiance, including his declaration of a “revolution” inspired by Burkina Faso’s Ibrahim Traoré, had drawn mixed reactions, with some viewing him as a whistleblower and others as a rogue element.
