The Defence Intelligence Agency (DIA) has declared a former Nigerian Navy Commodore, Kunle Olawunmi, wanted for exposing in an interview how the President Muhammadu Buhari's administration refused to probe high profile politicians whom Boko Haram terrorists named as their sponsors.
According to Sahara Reporters, the
DIA has asked Olawunmi to come to its headquarters in Abuja on Tuesday with his
international passport.
The Defence Intelligence Agency
is the primary military intelligence agency of Nigeria.
Sahara quoted their source as
saying, “The agency has declared retired Navy Commodore Kunle Olawunmi wanted
for spilling the beans over Boko Haram sponsors in the Buhari regime. They
asked him to come with his international passport on Tuesday to the DIA office
in Abuja.”
Olawunmi had last Wednesday spoken
on Channels Television’s ‘Sunrise Daily’ breakfast programme.
Speaking on the programme,
Olawunmi condemned Tuesday's attack by bloodthirsty bandits on the Kaduna
campus of Nigeria’s foremost military university, the Nigerian Defence Academy,
where two military officers were killed and another kidnapped.
He said, “It is an aberration;
you don’t attack the Nigerian Defence Academy and get away with it. In 2017, I
carried out an investigation by the Minister of Defence that wanted me to check
what was going on with the training and the security there (NDA). I remember I
spent about a week in the NDA with the commandant and the staff but something
struck me: every Friday, the gate of NDA is thrown open and everybody has
access to pray in the mosque.
“On Fridays, you are going to see
the same thing happening across all military formations in the country. If you
go to Defence Headquarters, I served at the Defence Headquarters as the Deputy
Director, Defence Administration, between 2015 and 2017, throughout my two
years at Defence Headquarters, I received visitors twice because of the strict
security architecture there but every Friday, the gate of the Defence
Headquarters is thrown wide open for everybody to come in and observe Juma’at.
“That is the time the terrorists
have the time to profile our security environment. It has always been the case.
I have served the military intelligence for the past 35 years. Our problem is
religion and socio-cultural.”
Olawunmi had also said that the
Department of State Services had tremendous information on terrorists but they
could not do anything except by the body language of the Commander-In-Chief.
It is however not clear why the
ex-naval officer has been asked to come along with his passport.
